Was anyone else aware of this movie? I stumbled upon it last week on Netflix; with a dreamy cast (local hero Jim Caviezel, Greg Kinnear, Barry Pepper, Jeremy Sisto) and a story about amnesia & a kidnapping heist, I could imagine no downside. And yet.
As the characters flail around in a desert warehouse trying to determine which of them is on which side (victims or kidnappers) they must work through some clumsy dialogue, curiously placed f-bombs, and face punches. The screenplay feels like an adaptation of a stage play. If it's not, maybe it should be; it might be better. And why does Peter Stormare always play the bad guy? Sure he's good at it, but a few more surprises would have been welcome in this movie.
Thankfully it's a short film, and the last third is the most interesting. But getting there is hard.
