This guy Anders Anderson is supposedly a hot shot new director, but he's unable to handle the present vs. flashback aspect of this movie without making a jumbled mess. To be fair, jumbled mess or not, the film held my interest enough to score it 6/10.
I found no fault with either the acting or the cinematography, but the continuity is a scramble.
(Big SPOILER coming). The sex scene proves director Anderson knows little about sex: The hero and his girl have sex fully clothed except for the girl's shoulders. The man bangs the girl hard against an unvarnished wooden door with total disregard for bruises (or splinters). Both people have expressions of pain on their faces, as if they were being stuck with a draw-blood needle by an amateur nurse. Their sexual encounter lasts for substantially less than 20 seconds.
If the director had read SEX FOR DUMMIES he'd know it's smart to undress first, avoid doing it standing up, and for Heaven's sake a man ought to take at least as long with sex as he'd take eating a Happy Meal. Maybe longer. Maybe better. WOW! Is that not romance made in Heaven.
