    An interesting "perfect storm" of all the wrong possibilities . . .
    An interesting "perfect storm" of all the wrong possibilities converging into a single night of evolving chaos.

    All things considered, could something like this actually happen in the real world?

    Well, maybe . . .

    Without explaining any specific details here, the question arises to what extent would someone go to protect their life situation and that of their family, if they found themselves in a circumstance that did not start off with ill intent, but ended up with a very narrow set of options to work with as their situation deteriorates.

    If anything, this is something of a character study of clashing worlds, that of the executive family man, and some very poor decisions rendered into an already precarious scenario, mixed together with the irrational angst of teenagers, and in particular, a freaked out girl fueled with a bit of drugs amplifying her already bipolar state of mind.

    Not a bad film, certainly not as bad as some of the reviews provided here.

    The acting was reasonably well done, and for the most part, the suspension of disbelief was within a range of plausibility.

    Would I spend the time to see this again? Probably not, but I'm not lamenting the time spent watching it either.

    It at least deserves 5 stars . . .
