The main premise of the film about Walden and his crimes is a very good story that while dark is still funny and sad at times. However, the B plot is a different matter. It seems to come out of nowhere and drags the film into the waters of a gritty police drama about the search for a serial child abuser. Though both parts of the film come together towards the end, when they are switching between the two plots it can give you a serious tone whiplash. Separately, each could work on some level as their own movie. But when they tried to make them into a single film, it just doesn't jell particularly well which throws the film off kilter.
That said, there is some pretty good cinematography on display and all the actors put in good performances. While certainly not a great movie, it's worth a watch.
