Romantic-Thriller from First Time Director Zack Whedon Featuring Aaron Paul and Annabelle Wallis. It is a Low-Budget, Barely Released Disappointment that gets Everything about Half-Right.
The Thriller Aspects, a Missing Girlfriend involved in Mysterious Goings On who Left the Pining Paul without a Note, is a Setup that is Classical and Consuming. There is a McGuffin (role of film),Gang Members, Intriguing Photographs of Unidentified, Creepy Looking Types, and so forth.
This is a Fine Beginning but as Things Unfold the Director Decides (not advisable) to Portray the Events with Equal amounts of Present Time and Flashbacks. When Things get Tense and Scary the Viewer is Immediately Time Shifted to the Past to Solidify Their Relationship.
After the First Few times this happens it becomes Tedious, Repetitive, and Stops the Films Momentum Cold. It is done with a Dull Regularity and the Story has to Gain Suspense all over again. This is Deadly to the Drama at hand. It Weakens the Movie as it Requires the Reinforcement of already Enforced Dangers.
So it's a Movie of Two Competing and Separate Stories. The Movie is Long at almost 2 Hours and it probably would have Worked Better if the Love Story was Cut by Half and the Flashback Angle was Abandon for a more Linear Approach.
Worth a Watch but be Prepared for a Start and Stop Feel that is Clunky and keeps this from being Less than it Should. All the Ingredients are here for a Good Thriller but the Awkward Mixing Misfires.

Awkwardly Timed Flashbacks Halt the Momentum and the Mix is a Misstep
Unresolved
The most overwhelming feeling I got from this movie was that it is unresolved. You sort of get snippets of information on the different characters, but you never get the full picture on anyone. It gives off a very middle vibe, like they cut out the beginning and end, and you're left with a vague awareness of what's going on. The flashbacks didn't do much to aid the storyline, and in fact the storyline itself moves at a turtles pace. Good cinematography and acting, but overall lacking in substance.
I've got 99 questions and not a answer for one.
This movie is as if someone turned one of this hidden object games into a movie. It was interesting while it felt like it was going somewhere but kind of just gives up on it's self. All the information is read between the lines. Lazy ending try's to be romantic in a Bonnie and Clyde kind of way. The
