Great Movie

At first glance I didn't think I would really care for this movie, it's not a big Hollywood budget (it got funded publicly online), It starts off very raunchy and in your face, but man, the storyline is good. It really makes you think about things in America in a different way and flips the script on a lot of common stereotypes so what you think is happening isn't at all. And it also makes you realize how some criminals are trying to survive etc, and end up getting caught in huge complex crimes that they never intended to be involved with and cannot escape once they're in. The main character Jack is unlikeable at first but by the end you feel bad for the dude. Many times along the way he finds himself questioning his ethics and recognizing his own cognitive dissonance. The film definitely keeps you on edge throughout, loved it. Not every day you get a plot with some real substance and the acting is amazing too. If you look up some of the actor profiles after watching, you would never guess they would play these characters so well and that's truly the definition of a great actor. Also the cinematography is A+.

Trivia
Nick Jernigan, pediatrician for producer Joshua Russell's two boys, served as Frank Rose's hand double in the stitching scene. For the skin, they used a pork shoulder as a double for Jack's chest. They shot the insert on the teaching stage at Western Carolina University's film program.
