20130924:
I disliked the pacing of the movie. The movie has various scenes which felt out of place or unexpected. Other story lines could have developed into something more, but ultimately fell short.
Overall, I watched the movie expecting to see a good amount of action and instead there was little action and lots of drama. This might be the main reason why I didn't enjoy the movie.
Due to a bad first impression, I shouldn't make any recommendations. If, however, you choose to watch the movie, then perhaps you'll have a better experience knowing there won't be much action.
Instant Comments:
So the movie starts off slow, but the excitement starts at around 13 minutes in.
Book, John Book.
Huh, the movie gets interesting in progressive increments. This next interesting fact happens at 27 minutes in.
It's interesting how Schaeffer decided to reveal his hand so quickly.
Lol, that was kind of creepy: him just standing there looking at her bathing.
Awkward: "If we made love last night, I'd have to stay, or you'd have to leave."
"How are you, John?" I would say, "Your husband's a killer."
"Whatever you did to Carter, I'm gonna fuckin' do that to you too, asshole." Yeah... when revenge comes into the equation.
"It's not our way." "But it's my way."
Anti-climatic face-off.
"You be careful out among them English."
