    Forced
    Occasionally, I see reviews for these movies that no one has heard about and I can't help but wonder if it wasn't people involved in the making of the movie that write them.

    So, to counterbalance what I read that led me to watch the movie in the first place, I'll just say that this movie didn't do anything for me. The dialogue was forced and the story unfolded in the most boring manner.

    There is no reason to identify with any of these characters. The ending was anticlimactic and the effort was average on everyone's part.

    Low budget. Low entertainment value.
