Just because it's an indie . . .

Independent productions don't get a pass just because they come in at ridiculously low budgets and actually make it to the screen, theatrical or otherwise. The script was interesting, but it has been done before. Actors need tu be engaged with their roles and the other actors in their scenes. Saying a performance is understated does not excuse being somewhere else. While the ending was unexpected, it still seemed a bit contrived. Frankly, the most interesting part appears in the behind-the-scenes narrative with Mick Rossi. Apparently, in the scene where his character is being driven to find medical attention by Val Kilmer's character, Kilmer neglected to turn off his cell phone. When it rang during the scene, the character found himself talking to his mother, to whom he had to explain why he was unable talk. In and of itself, this was actually a fairly humorous monologue. Of course, it became all the funnier when Rossi explained that the caller was, in fact, Kilmer's mother. He decided to leave the scene as it was filmed.
