Slow movie, clap trap, aiming at winning prizes, and it did win some.

This movie shows the protagonist doing nothing for too long too often. That's artsy and critics love it. It's a story of a hardened but messed up Gen-x man saving little girls from abductions.

It's a very tame movie, nothing happens but some shaky-cam fight scenes. More importantly, it's a paper thin movie; Tough son of a gun saves cute teen girl. End of movie.

Standing ovation. Wins prizes. Critics write raving reviews.

Also, considering the fact that Hollywood and their faux indie community are infested with pedos, it's eerie to watch a movie about this produced by them. Then I realized, maybe this production is intended for them to clean their hands in innocence.

It's a story of a hardened but messed up Gen-x man saving little girls from abductions.This clap-trap won prizes indeed. Heavens know why.
