I am very impressed by writer and director Matthew Michael Carnahan's first ever directorial debut. I mean wow, it's better than some seasoned directors films I've seen lately. The cinematography is sheer perfection with amazing colors and outstanding close-ups and scenic shots. The casting and performances by actors I'm sure many have never heard of, were exceptional and convincing, and Carnahan directed them perfectly. The writing was also on point with the 101 min runtime being just right and the pacing excellent. The score was also very fitting. All this praise, and yet it's overshadowed by my disappointment that the producers felt their film needed SO many bogus 10/10 reviews. Out of the current 167 reviews, 123 are all 10's from new accounts, or older accounts with this film (and maybe a few to throw us off) being the only one reviewed. That is just sad. Why wouldn't they have faith in their own film to resort to such tactics? My rating would've been an honest and well deserved 9, especially considering this is Carnahans first time wearing the directorial hat, but loses 2 points for all the bogus reviews thinking that his viewers can be fooled so easily. So it's only a 7/10 from me.
