Alex Beh and Taryn Manning really went astray with this one. Alex Beh completely overplayed this role, making him seem like an ignoramus, which is what the director intended, I assume. The directing and writing of this film are seriously deficient. It's quite alarming that this could be deemed a political film when it's not smart enough to be placed in that genre. Aside from the really overdone acting, the writing of the movie is just bad. There's no other way to say it. I read this is the filmmakers first feature length film as a writer and director and I think this should be his last. I rented this movie on VOD and was really blown away by how this film wreaked of the entitled younger generations of this country. I think everyone involved should take a few political science courses, read a few more books and never make a movie again.
