The premise of the plot for "Never Let Go" is intriguing and a good story, but the overall execution is poor. The buildup is very long and repetitive, seeming to come from a need to fill the time and make it a full feature length film.
Setting a couple plot holes aside, this movie was entertaining, although restrained by the mediocre acting by almost everyone in the film. Angela Dixon can't seem to decide what mood she is in, or how to communicate effectively in times of crisis. She has an accent that seems to come and go, and is very distracting, along with many quirky mannerisms and an overall unbelievable character (particularly considering the character's background that is never completely revealeed). It appears not enough research was given to the professions of the characters, the most obvious example being that people from the main characters assumed background do not speak in the manner she does.
The climax of the film is a big let down, and your typical happy feeling ending. The film was just engaging enough to keep me watching to the end, and was entertaining, but just left me with an overall feeling of "meh."
