Wasted Potential

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2013)

The only thing that kept the movie from garbage was the camera work / costume, Ethan Hawke's acting.
The story had such potential.
Why are the kids so stupid? 10 minutes into the movie, I felt guilty for wanting something bad to happen to them. Who ALLOWED this level of poorly thought out idea to be on the screen, and who was on casting to allow the people to play the kids.
Why is the daughter off and on screen at "just the opportune" moments? Why was Henry's gun completely off, no bullets on walls/door or on Ethan Hawke, but when the daughter picks up the gun there's suddenly bullets?
If this is how society is, why are these hipster college kids taking the night the way they are, poorly calculated, nonchalant?
And if this is how society is, why are children's behavior so alienated from what society has already become.
Too many scenes where characters just "pop up" whenever they want, just at the most opportune moments.
I have NEVER written a movie review, but this was just so... annoying. I'm surprised it was higher than a 3 on the average.
