Nice start, startling ending

When I first saw the movie, especially the part where Mila was crazy in love with Primo, I thought I was watching the predecessor to the movie Prime. I wanted to whack Mila because she fell for Primo's help-me antics. However, as the movie progressed, I found myself empathizing with the characters and in the process I forgot to review for my test! Anyhow, the story lines are very defined and the whole middle part kept my eyes on the screen. However, the ending was kind of undeserved and overrated. The scene where Mila died would have been fine and would probably keep the viewers implying the ending, rather than being served. Yes, the ending was so overrated and I felt it was unnecessary.
