Some secrets you keep will paralyze you.
Average movie (some minor spoilers)
Firstly, when you see so many 10's, then your B.S. antenna should be up, this movie is a 6 or 6 1/2 at best. I will say this, Patrick Hume as "Drake" was great in it, that guy's got a future for sure. One can understand where the writer was trying to take this, trying to show how sometimes the despair of being a paraplegic, the self recrimination, the sense of hopelessness etc, can lead people to try and escape their reality through drug use and even suicide. Some of the scenes of drug use, attempted suicide and the violence made me cringe, I'll admit, it's not for someone with a weak stomach. Despite some good potential in this story, some of the plot lines were just not believable. Even if our two protagonists engaged in hold ups (laugh at that idea if you will) or faking injuries to scam money out of strangers to buy drugs, how long could they do it before the police arrived and arrested them? Are they going to try and outrun the police in their wheelchairs? No wonder you never see a cop in sight. Their are a lot of flashbacks in this movie, hinting at the cause of Donavon's paralysis, but the denouement, the final unraveling and explanation of it at the end of the movie, is just not credible. I won't spoil it for you, but suffice to say, it beggars belief. It is an interesting movie, quite unlike any I've seen before, but ultimately, it's let down by some mediocre acting (with the exception of Patrick Hume) and some glaring plot holes.
