    • Trivia
      Jack Dylan Grazer was such a huge fan of The Office and Rainn Wilson' character in it that at first he was extremely awkward and tongue tied around Wilson. "Dwight is my idol," he said. "I love The Office more than anything in this entire world."
    • Goofs
      Around 34:10 when Matt throws the tank into the hole, any reasonable person would know that they could just turn the valve off, it would have been easy to show that Matt removed the valve handle, but he/the writers didn't do this. Instead, it's thrown in and Hamby attempts to throw this heavy tank of poison gas up 20+ feet to get it away which of course he fails at, instead of just turning the valve.

    The apples don't fall far from the tree
    The story started out fine but quickly spirals south. The characters make very dumb decisions that no one would really do if they were under the same conditions. I just think the screen writers just didn't know what they were doing. It felt like they didn't have the character arcs and the story well laid before the cameras began rolling. They just wrote in twists for the sake of subverting expectations but without a well laid out plan.

    I am also very disappointed with Mena Suvari acting performance. It was seriously bad. She was the weakest actor of the whole cast.

    Anyway, to summarize this film. I would say the main idea of this film would be, "The apples don't fall far from the tree". In the end, all of the main characters were rotten. Even the younger boy, Joey.
