The movie is contrived in a worst possible manner. One has a strong feeling that the director came up with a simple idea and then padded it to fill prescribed time and to make it engaging. It is not engaging. The plot slowly develops making an impression that some terrible secret will be revealed, but actually nothing of notice happens. As a result, one is left wondering why the main character went through all the efforts to hide his past and behaved like he did something terrible, if at the end it turns out he never really did. Finally, the director pulls not stops to manipulate viewers' emotions. All what is missing is a car running over the family dog.
