It's a sweet little film with some nice shots and a certain holiday feeling, but somehow it doesn't quite work as a thriller for me. The story was odd, yet it seemed used and worn out. The direction: poor. The supporting roles were just fine: Lidea Ruth, Howard Marks, Joseph Berwick and Germany's Andre Schneider give wonderful insights into their art. But the film's leading man, Sam Page, was as wooden and unintentionally funny as it can possibly get. He delivers his lines clumsily, and his entire performance seemed as if he didn't want to do the movie in the first place. The photography and editing were slightly above average, but all in all the movie lacked tempo, and excitement. A boring thriller. A pity. 3 out of 10.
