    • Goofs
      Detectives enter with guns drawn into a shack where an old geezer is banging his head onto a table. There is a hunting rifle on the table. The first thing the cops should do is to remove the weapon from the reach of an obviously deranged person, but they just let him to continue with the headbanging with the rifle still on the table. But then, there probably is no law against banging one's head to the table.

    Game - Master
    No pun intended - I had no idea Veronica Ferres was doing international movies. If you are living in Germany, you most likely know her from things. Not that she has many fans here. But she is quite decent here - just in case you thought I was going to slam or bad mouth her. Although saying that you think someone is not the best actor/actress is just an opinion. One can say that without being too mean - which I am trying to do generally.

    Anyway back to this and some interesting twists and turns. And while she is quite ok in this, some other actors have issues to convey feelings ... I'd argue they are not able to. Which makes watching certain scenes almost painful ... almost as painful as what the characters have to go through ... I said almost ... anyway, the story is filled with cliches and you will be able to see where this is going ... I am quite certain of it.
