User Reviews

Pretty Decent

Netflix recommended this to me after I'd added another Scott Speedman movie to my instant queue. I'd been dragging my feet so far as watching it is concerned, and what finally pushed me over the edge was the running time- I was tired, but confident I could handle 82 minutes in a sitting.

Starts slow, picks up a little and plays like a meaner 'Dazed and Confused'. Recognized Tammy from her eventual stint as Marie Warner on '24', and enjoyed the fact that Scott Speedman played a completely unlikable prick, through and through. I was pleased they didn't pull that punch, making him a totally self-absorbed douche.
