Michael Welch did a great job yet again. I originally knew him from Born Bad, a role he did such a great job with. Anyway, this movie was solid and I thought the depth of his character was interesting. By the end of it, I actually sympathized with his backstory and saw where he was coming from during his final reveal. The villain has got to be the villain, after all, but I understood why he felt the way he did. As for Haylie Duff's character, so much realism there too. I find that many people have no patience for in-depth analysis, so it can quite boring for the average Joe who just wants action and something to happen at every millisecond. This movie takes its sweet time and really delivers most of its substance in the reveal. Either way, a 10/10 in my book. I personally preferred Michael Welch in Born Bad, but being that he played a much less intense character here, I understand it. He's a great actor, and I hope to see him in more roles like this, he makes the perfect villain.
