It's OK but the story is resolved deceptively

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2013)

The standards are too low nowadays to properly rate a movie, any movie. I give it a 6 but its real rating should be a 4, at best.
It is watchable. The script takes off well. The acting has sufficient charisma. It is engaging enough overall.
But the story becomes deranged as the development of the main characters turns them into caricatures. It should be the other way around. Instead of depth, we get flatness. The secondary characters, however, are written rather well comparatively speaking.
The red flag is that the premise of the story is eventually shown to be irrelevant. The resolution takes the film on a tangent. This makes no sense. We are forced to believe that the concerns of the main character, the problems that drive him all along and entirely determine his life up to that point, disappear rather than are resolved. This is a cheat that torpedoes the true potential of the plot.
