Sorry, this movie sucks

Boring

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

A cops/sheriffs gone bad film! A law enforcement officer is raising a daughter under strict ownership conditions because the mother died years ago when she (the daughter) was very young. What happened to her mother? You'll have to watch this movie to see. It's loaded with 'on the edge of your seat' and 'nail-biting' suspense and anticipations. You really never know what's going to happen next, a mystery in a way. Just like another viewer says, it's unpredictable. I'm going to recommend this movie to my young, 12 year old cousin and her family because she likes thriller and horror movies. I think because she's coming into her teenage years, she might enjoy this movie as well. We watched a horror movie called 'The Shallows) together the other night and she enjoyed it, went back to tell her family about it and they watched it together the next night. Sometimes I often wonder about age-appropriate movies, but she wanted to watch horror and we allowed it. The Shallows wasn't that horrific though and neither is this film. Just give it a go! I think you'll enjoy it! This is what I would consider a low-budget, B-rated flick, but it's done well.

Actually I didn't expect lot from this one in the beginning but after watching it I am delighted that I found a hidden gem in it. This flick impressively maintains it pace as well. Teenagers were brilliant in their roles specially the male character. For the given budget this movie got lot to offer . I bet you will find complete package of drama, thriller, crime, romance in this one. So it's worth to give a shot at it....

Greetings again from the darkness. It was one month to the day since the shocking news that Bill Paxton had died when I sat down to watch one of his final two movies (the other being The Circle, which hits theatres in a few weeks). His searing performance in this low-budget drama made me realize just what a gaping hole he leaves in the film world … and how fitting that his character is the antithesis of Paxton's real world nice guy persona.Director Nathan Morlando opens with a shot of a peaceful stroll through rural prairie land, providing no indication of the quietly intense misery that is coming. Jonas (Josh Wiggins) is a teenage boy working daily on the family ranch when he meets Casey (Sophie Nelisse), the new girl in town. The two quickly hit it off, and connect in a way neither has before. Jonas soon realizes that Casey's cop dad (Paxton) abuses her, and spontaneously can shift between country charm and frightening intimidator.Writers Kevin Coughlan and Ryan Grassby do a nice job of using minimal dialogue and subtle interactions to round out these characters. Paxton plays a corrupt cop who is an alcoholic and abusive dad, and a man overly protective of his daughter and distrusting of outsiders. Casey is played by Sophie Nelisse, who was so good in The Book Thief (2013). She is a smart girl who fears not just her father, but also a life that may prevent her from ever seeing the ocean. Josh Wiggins plays Jonas as a strong-willed young man who believes people should do the right thing, especially for their loved ones. Wiggins made a terrific film debut in 2014's Hellion.There is a lot going in this little independent feature. It's a coming of age story, and a reminder of the anxiousness of youth and the power of first love. It's also a disturbing story of a rotten-to-the-core man who has lost his way (if he ever had it). Lastly, it's a chase movie that features a blend of beautiful and harsh scenery – filmed mostly in Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario. There is a tremendously tense sequence shot with the limited perspective offered by the covered bed of a pickup truck; and it's a contrast between two youths trying to escape their situation, and two bad cops with little redeeming value. Maybe we've seen similar type movies, but never one with two excellent young actors and a menacing performance from the late great Bill Paxton.

I really liked this thriller/drama and kept being surprised by it thru and thru.The set up just felt superb and every aspect of film making is so well handled it all just seem to fall in place in this movie.It's got a good story ,well directed,beautifully shot and a cast of natural feeling actors and with dialogue that felt very fresh to me and really added to the movie and made me laugh and even cry thru out.The violence and sex is very moderate and was very reality based but handled well enough to keep the tension going.The 2 young actors had a nice chemistry and I especially liked the quite moments between them in which they still seem to have a connection.Some backstory on the girl was given by herself during dialogue in the middle of the film and it show cased well that this girl has acting chops.Bill Paxton played the father of this girl and also a corrupt cop and I think it's one of his best roles and it was sad that he died with still so much greatness in him.In this movie he's a bad guy and a bad father but there is still something in him that you sympathize with and that is hard to do.This is a great movie,I highly recommend it.Enjoy!.
