Not a satisfying answer at all, but you can&#8217;t applaud a pointless movie just because it shows graphic violence and abuse not shown anywhere else.<br \/>\nFocusing on two boy in a small town in Kansas, one geeky boy has is obsessed by his blackouts, and think alien abduction caused this, while the other lives carefree as a hustler, doing mostly whatever God forbids. The obsession of the one leads somehow the the other one. While a cloud of mystery conceals the truth, it&#8217;s directed in a devious way, yet it&#8217;s easy to figure out. The acting is good, but not brilliant.<br \/>\nIn the end, the message might have been, the truth will set you free, but even that doesn&#8217;t come across. Hence, it&#8217;s a movie not to be recommended, unless creating your own depression is your cup of tea.5\u00c2\u00bd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have those movies where you keep scratching your head all the time, wondering, &#8220;What&#8217;s the point of this all ?&#8221;.
