Even if this movie was condensed from 80 minutes to 20 minutes, it would still be just as excruciating to watch. The one thing that I kept asking myself was the rationale behind the plot and the characters, and the only word I kept seeing, as the minutes flew by, was 'pointless'. For example, one of the three characters is gay and apparently, a church going Christian. Why? His sexuality and religion hardly affected the plot. He might as well have been straight, or a woman, or a lesbian or an agnostic gender neutral. Heck he could've been a grey alien in disguise! And the mute character. Why mute? He might as well have been paralysed, or visually challenged. It wouldn't have made any difference at all. None of the character traits exhibited by the two main players had any real bearing to the story arc, or to character development. A complete waste.
