Good Ideas, Not So Good Storyline

I was given the chance to preview this movie a couple months ago. I thought "Oh, it's Cuba Gooding Jr., it's going to be decent." So, I went in with hope it could be a possibly good movie. Well, I will be honest, the first twenty minutes were captivatingly interesting, but as time progressed, I was wondering why they didn't move onto another location, why it was all at one location. I thought the dialogue was good, but the lack of change in location made the story suffer. If it had more of a storyline, this probably would be a classic. The ideas were good, but with lack of change and relying heavily on dialogue tends to make it suffer.
