This film will remind you of some of the headlines you see in the news. It takes you on an inside look into the state of mind of one man's descent into madness. A somber movie with great acting by everyone. The pacing is good and it delivers. I have never heard of this film but I was glad I came across it. For an independent film without(?)publicity it's worth your money considering a lot of horrible big name big budget movies coming out of Hollywood. I called it a film because it is more artsy, in a way.
