Directed by David Lowell Rich, written by A.J. Russell, produced by Richard Lewis.
Average viewer score of 4.8/10 from 17 ratings.
This comedic-thriller is neither funny nor very suspense-filled. The dialogue is stilted and characters not entirely likable, but worse it's just all around dull, uninteresting and forgettable. By the end my mind was drifting off elsewhere. **2.0/5**
