Be wary of men in hats: now somewhere in a place called Morgan; Nick Boon [Neal McDonough:] he is a mystery no one knows too much about him, he wants to live a quiet life in this cabin. But when a Pastor Catherine [Christiane Seidel:] she is Pastor of Morgan, in a difficult situation living with her so Elijah [Jake Melrose:] a teenager living with his mum, so when his mum is being attacked Pryce [John Patrick Jordan:] a henchman for two people, which is an alcoholic and not very bright of Mr. Fitzgerald [Tommy Flanagan:] he is the boss and oversee of this situation and his right-hand person Emilia Fitzgerald [Emilia Fitzgerald,] unknown of what I can remember of what kind of family connection there is between these two, apologies for any inconvenience, the Pastor's family owes a lot to Emilia, consequently they are in Emily's back pocket. But I digress Elijah runs to his next door neighbour Boon for help. But there is someone in the form of FBI Special Agent Lloyd Redd [Demetrius Grosse:] a self-assured Special Agent that would like to track down and capture Boon, he is very much aware of what Boon has done.

The framework and pacing of this 95 minutes film, while the framework is straightforward,Even though there is this really off-putting music from time to time, trust me when I say you will know when you hear it, because it sticks out like a sore thumb. The pacing of this title is just so, so, so slow to the point. I mean it is only roughly around for disclosure I didn't check on this, but I would say maybe around the final 35 minutes and yes I am being generous there that this film bursts into life.

Action/Comedy: Boon uses a standard shovel to smash Pryce around the face and then in a nutshell; later on he has brought a shovel, but a hand shovel as to try and return the favour; he makes reference to his intentions to Bud [James Madio:] the smarter one out of the two henchman and putting this nicely doesn't think too much of Pryce as he indicates as much in this scene. Yes this is our comedy level here as well, I mean there isn't much of it but this is what we are working with here.

Art: landscapes and specifically the skies these are eye-catching as we have clouds.

Character developments and performances: these are in both counts are solidly good in particular our lead role of Neal McDonough as Nick Boon; he just gets what his character is meant to be; a quiet man which can be ominous if or when pushed.

This film receives: 3/10, this is poor; on reflection and at best I have awarded another mark to this film for its positives which I have made reference to some. But it is just the pacing for the vast majority of it, it just dribbles on and on, they could have easily just taken 15 minutes off to give it some kind of urgency or a get up and go to it before it kicks, so if it had a more get up and go nature to it this project would have more than likely been given a higher mark, but then again I have to deal in reality and yes after the first few credits we have one extra ending credits scene.
