(SPOLIERS) Personally I wasn't disappointed by the bait & switch theme of the film. I think if the rest of the film had been better constructed other people wouldn't have felt as cheated by thinking they were going to see a sci-fi film. But then again, perhaps if I had dished out my hard earned money to see it, I might have felt a little pissed. I can imagine heading to theater for some sci-fi horror and instead getting a drama. But my only real problem was the very end of the film. Nobody, especially a state trooper, is gonna stand there while some kid points a gun at them. That was a serious trope violation. And this film really needed an epilogue. I would have had the kid throw the gun out the window and then cut to some point in the near future and end on him visiting his dad in jail. But to be fair that wasn't the only problem with the script. I appreciate the idea of the film, but it was missing something. Perhaps the hallucinations should have lasted longer... maybe until the very end. The Micheal Shannon film "Take Shelter" did something similar and that was another one I liked but felt it was missing something. Still, imo, could have been a 7 except for last scene.
