Soft, Serene, and Sappy

Rating: 3/10 (30 May 2012)

Slick Camera work and Shiny Photography can't save this predictably Ponderous One-Man Show that tries very hard to keep our attention but is Doomed by the Restraint of the Situation.
Much is done to give us a deep Understanding of the Psychology and Personality of this rather Boring Individual and Fails miserably to evoke any kind of Empathy or Interest. The dry barren Landscape unintentionally becomes a Metaphor for the Lame little Fellow it Imprisons.
Flashbacks to Mom, Sis, and Dad are as Cliché as the Memories of His First Love and "My life flashed before my eyes!" Chestnut.
Postcard Images and Yawn inducing Nature Shots are done with Professional competence but You can get those on the rack at the Bus Station.
This is one of those Films that completely Misses the Mark on many of the Targets it so deeply wants to hit. Unfortunately the soft, Serene and Sappy Style counteracts the Need for Terror and Suspense.
