I watched this mainly for Kyle Gallner, and he did not disappoint. Gallner will get his big due in the near future, but I'm hoping he signs roles in films that come with better writing overall (and not just his character). The film works as long as it's focused on Gallner's protagonist, who struggles with anger issues, and how everyone surrounding him is affected by it. The father-son scenes were actually decent and provided some emotional heft. However, it then jumps into Shawn Ashmore's baddie and his predictable motivations; the film goes downhill with no recovery in sight. There are some stiff B-movie choices in the framing and music. The direction befits the made-for-TV format, with quick resolutions and happy endings. Some of the performances are downright bad. Bottom line is, I'll still watch anything that features Kyle Gallner, even subpar films like this one.
