    I was drawn to the movie to see what kind of work Stephen Gyllenhaal does. The acting was good, the script and directing were good. I just didn't think the movie went anywhere. Maybe that was the writer's/director's point.

    I love the actors in this movie but the movie itself was ridiculous. I really do not suggest this movie unless you are into this kind of thing

    Ahh, brings back memories of life in Humbolt. Reasonable acting, fairly true story line, Not that many deaths involved in a typical growing operation though. And the mafia was never interested in small growing operations.

    Yes   |   No
