MY REVIEW
I struggled with the first act of this movie. Not meaning that I struggled in a bad way but in the way that I connected on a very emotional level with the character of the wife, played by Nicholle Tom. I felt the distress in their marriage and it felt real. Really real! Almost too real to me at some times. I actually felt my heart sleep up at times feeling the feelings that she was having on screen. Tom was brilliant in this role as Katherine Lane. I could really sympathize with her struggle to deal with her husbands temperamental and detached feelings. Michael Lane, her distant husband is played by Cypriot actor Hal Ozsan. I think he was pretty good. Not great, but good.
What I DID LIKE about this movie:
- Great pace. Didn't have to wait around for the action to get started. I felt like the story was well on it's way within just a few minutes.
- PLOT TWIST!! I loved it! I has suspected its but quickly moved to another option and I was delighted with the choice
- Judd Nelson as the sheriff! I love him in this dark role. It was reminiscent of his role in the Made for TV movie Cabin by the Lake.
What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:
- Although it was a good movie, it was not great. There was just something lacking.
On a more personal note..... I had soon much fun today. My girlfriend's birthday barbecue was today. I went to her house and hung out with a bunch of Suffolk Firefighters, well and her! It was insanely hot out today, so it was nice to hang out in the backyard in the shade! Came home and I was accosted by a little ginger guy, Rocket, who was really intent on being held! I did get a moment of respite when he wanted to play with his big brother Jinx. Then, I washed my hair and DID NOT straighten it!! Let it curly and did a little Snapchat sesh!
