It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I mean Katie Holmes was brilliant in this! I'm not a Katie Holmes fan per se but she exemplified Mary Meadows and personified managed mental illness, contradicting moral compass, compassion and honesty. The first opening scene was so refreshingly surprising and funny I couldn't help but watch glued with increasing intrigue. Man, you want to root for her and the calamity that is her crazy yet calm life is dark and optimistic at the same time. I felt a bit out of sorts watching it... and I loved that! Man I thoroughly enjoyed this film and Katie you were so amazing not one actress I can think of would've done a better job!

What a movie. I watched it without knowing what to expect; the only propaganda I got from it was the cover, I didn't even read or check for synopsis or trailer. A creepy joy ride with lots of not knowing what to expect perhaps not intensely but still. if I had to choose as film only I'd return to this one before bad teacher any day. For me there was no sense of build up to tragedy, just more along the lines of anticipation for revealed layers as the story went.Not a big fan of crime movies even though I like a lot of them. This one brought an element to it that makes it stand alone, my title of review aside. Did not expect Katie Holmes to do a good job like this.

Review: I'm really not sure what the moral behind this story was! It's about a lady called Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes), who lives the perfect life as a substitute teacher at an elementary school and spends most of her time caring for her garden. When she is out of "perfect neighbour" mode, she battles against the criminals in her town, with her gun in her pocket book and a vigilante attitude. She then falls for the local sheriff who tries to dig deeper into Meadows shady past but he keeps on getting shut down. Whilst investigating the mysterious murders in his town, he realises that all of the evidence is pointing to his, now pregnant loved one so he seeks for the truth while they are planning there wedding. With more criminals moving into her neighbourhood, Miss Meadows still seeks for justice but she eventually meets her match which puts her life in danger. The storyline was a bit weird and to be honest, I just found the whole thing annoying after a while. The main character, Miss Meadows, was the most annoying thing about the film and the far fetched plot just made things worse. Her constant one liners like too-da-loo, we're also annoying after a while and I didn't know if to laugh or to take the movie seriously. From an entertainment point of view, it was a big let down but you can't fault it for originality. The performances were more weird than good and I'm struggling to understand what the director was trying to achieve with this project. Weird and not that great!Round-Up: Katie Holmes, 36, is mostly known for her marriage to Tom Cruise, than her actual acting. After filing for divorce in 2012, she has only had brief appearances in Woman In Gold and the Giver and this film really didn't do well at the box office. Before that, she had a promising career after starring in Batman Begins, Phone Booth and the awful Jack and Jill but everything went downhill after her marriage failed. She has a major role in the Kennedy TV series, which seems to be quite popular so there might be some light at the end of the tunnel. This is the first major movie from, writer and director Karen Leigh Hopkins and I personally think that you can tell. The script was sketchy and the whole project just wasn't put together that well. Budget: $3million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/thrillers about a woman who is a school teacher by day and a vigilante killer whose seeking for justice on the side. 2/10

Miss Meadows defines the limits of her reality early then reveals throughout how she actively avoids being a victim as passive life events expose themselves. From the emotions reflected in her sock choices to tireless maintenance of white garments, the frutility of living in the walls Miss Meadows' confines herself within, she interacts in society through locked doors and open windows. I was uncomfortable with the anti-Catholiic scenes as most know Katie Holmes' past Scientology affiliation makes you wonder if there is a specific agenda being propagated. This is a movie to watch on a quiet morning, without too many expectations.
