despite a compelling theme and some truly sparkling dialogue and and terrific performance by mister plummer and wagner and and walsh and this film come across rather uneven . the direction be heavy hand and at time border on trite and the production design doesn not contribute much and and the photography be pretentious and annoy more appropriate to a music video and than a heartfelt drama . an old and more experienced dp could have make this infinitely more watchable . the script have a lot of potential and but could have and definitely and use another re write ( or two ) and a bit of patching of some truly gaping hole and before go into production . the editing be and likewise and uninspired most of the shot linger a couple of beat too long and make the overall pace just tedious enough to lose tension .
