8/10

Extremely under rated and under marketed film

This is a REALLY good story and the actors move within it so well... Its slow for sure.. but that almost excentuates the whole being of the film...

Its got a GREAT storyline without all the cheesy "dependable" undertones associated with alot of films these days..

This film stands on its own and makes no excuses as none are needed.

DEFINITLY one for personal library.
