This was easily the worst film rated 6.5 on IMDB that I have ever seen. One film critic described it a very, very funny black comedy. I did not laugh once. Another critic labeled it a mystery/thriller. Huh? What was the mystery? Where we the thrills? The first part
of the film seemed okay as a setup. Solid acting leading to an event that led to a horrible injury. I expected part 2 to be about the coverup or follow up to said event. Nope. Part 2 was a completely disjointed, terribly overacted, incredibly boring story that did nothing to drive closure on part 1 and was only peripherally related to it. It was as though they ran out of money for actual writers after part 1, went to a local community college, asked for the D students among the English majors, and said hey guys, just finish this up for us. But instead, the D students tried to get clever. When that is just not their long suit. As Aubrey winks at the screen in the final scene, I shock my head in disgust at the 105 minutes that I will never get back. I almost never feel that way. This one was just plain bad.
