Michael has decided to handcuff his best friend and meth/crack addict, Chris, to what looks like an easy-to-break pipe for 10 days in order to convince him to go into rehab. This is easily one of the dumbest ideas a character, especially one who acts as smart as Michael, has ever tried to do in a movie and it works, for the most part. RESOLUTION takes place over 10 days in an unfinished house as Chris goes through withdrawal and Michael tries to solve a mystery that challenges his sanity.
Being such a low-budget indie film, many things can be over-looked. The performances seem lazy, except from Vinny Curran as Chris, who comes off like he was keeping the laughs going on-set, improvising many of his lines. The pacing was off but the film holds a very real presence of danger. Between the stories Michael begins to find lying around in the area and some jump scares provided by the creepy neighbors, Resolution keeps you watching.
As things spiral out of control, there are some great mind-bending moments and though the films touches on some really interesting subjects and topics, the conclusion is a yawn. Resolution can not decide whether it wants to be a buddy comedy or a surreal horror and doesn't deliver in either genre, making the film easily forgettable.
