My quick rating - 4.1/10. I have no idea what the point of this flick was. All I got out of it was an abused Native American teen who decides, for the hell of it, to shoot some other kid in the face. Then he and his buddy hide the murder and move on with their lives. In the course of a text flash, not them actually showing them grow up. The main character, played quite well by Michael Greyeyes, has since grown up to be some sort of successful yet sociopathic lunatic. For more unknown reasons, we are shown a couple of his nuances, and then he is reunited with his buddy, who led an entirely different life after the shooting 30 years earlier. This is where we get to the story, although most of the time, up until this has been pointless scenes, and you are most likely already bored. Since that is what most of this movie is, just drawn-out nothingness happening. I can't really call them plot holes since there really is no plot to tie back to. Just a waste of talent and 90 minutes of boredom. I have no idea why Jesse Eisenberg is in this flick, popping up as Greyeyes' assistant a couple of times, but it does seem par for the course with this snoozefest. I will say slightly promising debut for the director here, but Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr. is just going to need a bit more of a story to prove if he is deserving of the praise.
