Expect lots of stalling so that it could be a 2 hour movie

(2010) Kalamity THRILLER

Written and directed by James M. Hausler, which viewers can have two ways to look at this film. The first objective is two friends who have different approaches about dealing with a bad break up, and the other is by looking at the big picture, which this movie totally "dictates" the actions of this movie to specific characters who're Billy Klepack (Nick Stahl)Stan Keller (Jonathan Jackson) and co-worker roommate Christian Phillips (Christopher M. Clark)- not the police, not the family or to other possible friends. One of the most "asinine" movies I had ever seen which it ignores proper missing persons protocols. At the first few minutes, something bad has happened and it has to do with Stan and viewers don't quite know what that is. The next scene has Stan picking up Billy coming back for a visit from spending much of his time in college. Billy then asks him about his relationship with his girlfriend Ashley, and then the next thing we know Stan turns all psycho about it, as he's also trying to control what other people who also questioning him about his breakup with Ashley as well. This goes on throughout much of the movie as Ashley's disappearance shows up on the news. And duh, at this point viewers have already figured out that Stan has something to do with Ashley's disappearance but without knowing about the circumstances making viewers wondering 1)how come the police are not questioning ex boyfriend Stan about her disappearance? And 2) where the heck are Ashley's family and friends? Why aren't they harassing Stan about Ashley's disappearance? The movie never explains, as this movie "restricts" the environment involving the missing teenager's disappearance as being important "only" to the main characters and as a result automatically wastes more viewers quality time by continuing to watch it when questions like that remain unanswered. And in some retrospect's, the star Billy has as much to blame for other possible deaths as well as he had the opportunity to do something about it by calling in, but because it had to be a movie- the makers wanted to stall viewers even more, and to me that's not right. Bomb.
