Rated NR 1 hour 32 minutes 2002

5 stars. The first 15-30 minutes was a bit slow but if you can push past that it gets a heck of a lot better. We were expecting it to be low budget (which it was) and a lame C-rated movie. But to our surprise, it was better than expected. Matt Czuchry's role was realistic, he did an awesome job in this film.
