A lot has been said about the low budget, poor acting and bad film quality. It should also be mentioned however, that there are some pretty offensive concepts that are just glazed over throughout the movie. The storytelling wants the viewer to sympathize with a rap*st. In fact, it ends up being paramount to the entire premise of the movie, but the viewer is unaware of it until the last 30 seconds. Lazy storytelling with no clear message, other than this man gets a happy ending, at the expense of his nonexistent daughter. The movie does briefly address the main characters personal trauma, which explains his actions. It's just not enough to justify making this the entire concept of the movie.
