This film start with a girl "Emily" riding a bicycle, and her brother "Tyler" singing with his girlfriend "Alexis" in a car scene! As turnout, this film is about the family of Emily try to get back together, after Tyler accidentally kill Alexis! Entire film quite slow, and full of super boring overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the super annoying light blinking scene, overuse of the blackout scene, overuse of the close-up facial scene, and overuse of the head put outside the car's window scene! Barely intense scene is, Tyler argue with Alexis, and Tyler eventually kill Alexis by accidentally push her on the floor! At the end, Emily dating with Luke! Tyler serving his life sentence! His father try to rebuild the relationship with his mother! At the very end, Emily riding the bicycle again! That's it! Another disappointed film!
Beautiful cinematography can not disguise the lack of content in this film- we've seen this all before, done better; with characters we could care about. All the characters in this film are either smug, boring or psychotic (latent & manifest). I was expecting stunning visuals from reading various reviews- a visual trip - instead there's a bombardment of garish neon & strobes - those reviewers must have been glue sniffing. There's an overwhelming amount of films being made that have no really likable or emphatic characters- maybe this is due to the overwhelming amounts of cocaine that the film industry absorbs.. the scripts are written & filmed by (effectively) coke-slaves & their perspective on the rest of the world is in many ways snowblind ? ... It is hard imagine anyone beyond the production of this film being able to stomach the rancid misery of this story of the cardboard characters inhabiting it. All the technical aspects of the film or good & the actors played their roles well, sadly their talents were wasted on a naff 'vision' of the producers & director. Maybe they should read some good STORIES before making another film?
Very good acting however didn't manage to develop any real connection with the characters and the storyline has no real direction, just a number of 'trying to be hip' camera shots linked with a vague storyline. Had really high hopes for this film after seeing the trailer and reading reviews - I was ready to be completely drawn in emotionally but unfortunately that didn't happen and I was just waiting for it to finish.
I think the director had his family write the reviews. This movie was boring, irritatingly vacant of any substance....actors just saying their lines. Terrible directing, dialog, writing, uuuggh...
I found the first part of the movie really captivating, intense, credible and very well acted. When the focus switches to the second teen in the families the whole plot becomes very mellow (still very well acted though but diminishing the overall impact).
