Magandang pelikula!

I am so angry at this film. Its genuinely very good but the ending is SO UNSATISFYING. Its bad enough when the monsters get away in real life the least you can do is give us justice in fantasy. Still a good movie but goddamn am I angry about the end.

There were some negative reviews on this movie, I often disregard such and see for myself, glad I did. Though it's true there was no actual conclusion to this move. I found it well scripted and acted. It portrays the small town mentality of a community that in all likelihood knows the guilty party, but is just more comfortable to keep your mouth shut. The ending leaves a strong impression that it's not over for the male investigator, he seems to be on the scent of more leads.it was an entertaining movie and viewers should form their own opinion. I was not familiar with the two main characters, but they both did great jobs.

One of the worst acting jobs I've ever seen by the main actress. The rest of them were ok, passable, but the lead actress is not only just a scrawny beanpole of unattractivenes (not just physically, more attitude-wise) but her acting is like watching a stick make faces. The story itself could've been better presented and it might have made a good lifetime tv movie but they simply did nothing with it. They laid NO groundwork to put context to the story, they didn't give us any background on any of the characters, main ones included that there's literally nothing to pull us into the story. Waste of an hour and 32 minutes. Spend your time watching commercials...better acting and maybe get some value from them.

It would be an understatement to suggest that this murder mystery was unsatisfying. Two top-notch newspaper reporters get deeper and deeper into a pair of cold cases only to have the plug pulled on them, not by their newspaper editor, but by their screenwriter! David Fremont and Lisa Johnson are the two reporters for a small town paper whose stock in trade is the latest story on a local tractor pull. But David and Lisa tenaciously pursue a pair of ten-year-old murder cases in which two young women were brutally killed with no conclusive evidence about the killer. The drama was moving along at a brisk pace with some excellent location footage and an effective period style of the late twentieth century. But the filmmakers curiously opted for an ambivalent ending that offered no effective conclusion to their film. For the film audience, this was not a case of hitting "below the fold," but hitting "below the belt!" Was the artistic goal to leave a sense of uncertainty that the cases would never be solved? Was the intent to portray a wilderness of mirrors in the area of true crime? Or, was the budget exhausted and the film had to be brought to an abrupt conclusion?

1/10. The film has no point at all, neither what happened, nor what was explained, nor what was solved. The acting was desperate and unconvincing, as was the story itself.

The ending is terrible and will make you hate this movie. I feel like I wasted 90 minutes of my life. You can't end a movie like that and expect people to love it. Don't ever do that again, please. I have to rate it 2 stars because of the ending. The acting was ok, it's an indie movie so I get it. But the ending ruined the entire film. I kind of liked the storyline until the end, so that's why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. But I would never watch it again nor would I recommend it to anyone.🤷

I don't know if the problem is with the actors, the director, or the script but the result is that it was terrible. I gave it a second chance and had to give up after 5 minutes both times!

Don't understand why everyone is giving this movie bad reviews. It honestly has the twists and turns that a good mystery thriller is known for even though the ending can leave some wanting. This obviously isn't a major Hollywood motion picture. Your not going to find Oscar winning performances, great cinephotography, or amazing character growth. But what you will find is an interesting mystery about a towns almost forgotten tragedy.
