Very disappointing...

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Wasn't scared one bit. The only reason I finished the movie is because I like closure. I want to see it to the end, regardless of how bad it is. So, my recommendation, avoid at all costs.So, you're looking for your money, and it's really important to you? Why not stay and search right in the same area all day long, and even visit your home for most of the movie. Don't worry, that type of money just comes back to you, it doesn't run away. Just wait for it.Oh, and how smart do you have to be to be handcuffed to a large loophole screw, and not think to attempt to unscrew it, instead, to watch your son be killed in front of you.You think the story is bad? Just wait to see the acting, actually, don't wait, just pass.Absolutely nothing in this movie makes any sense. There are just so many things in the movie that even common sense could not screw up. I'm just mad that I wasted time watching this instead of watching something else while working.

OK, don't read this at all until after you see it if you care more about spoiler than wasting your life.First issue is that casting was horrible. Three daughters look basically same age as their mother, which is around 30. They are supposed to behave like they are under 16 or something, or its another attempt by some idiot to try and say that 17 year olds are 'children', either way, I saw them as used up by life, not as children and as thats kinda main point of film, it failed right from start.Second thing that really sucked majorly is that Huff character (name of main guy apparently, who is supposed to represent 'the wolf') is highly inconsistent. He has asthma which seems to be so severe that he can barely do anything, yet here he is running around actively. Person who wrote the character is clueless about asthma, and as I am not it killed it for me.I cant say I got point of his quoting the Bible few times as he was obviously nonreligious. I am agnostic, but it just felt like retarded extremist atheist portrayal of retarded extremist Christian ... maybe that was whole point of entire film.I found it to be garbage overall, although actor playing Huff did great job acting. Probably only person in the entire film that did something actually productive.My advice to Huff actor playing Huff: Dude find a better agent. You can do much better than this type of crap films, you've got talent.

Evil and abusive stepfather Huff (robustly played to the hateful hilt by Charlie O'Connell) is on the verge of making a lucrative drug deal that will enable Huff to settle down in Mexico with his mistress Laci (a spot-on saucy portrayal by the scorching hot Natasha Alam). However, Huff's battered wife Lorelei (a brief, but memorable turn by Elina Madison) messes things up after she sends her three daughters away with Huff's drug money.Director Paul Morrell, working from a hard-hitting script by Curt Howell, relates the compellingly twisted premise at a quick pace, maintains an unflinchingly tough'n'gritty tone throughout, does an ace job of crafting a tasty'n'seamy white trash atmosphere, adds a few neat touches of pitch-black humor (the religious angle in particular gives this a pleasingly subversive edge), and tackles some extremely dark and disturbing subject matter head on. The moments of brutal violence pack a really fierce punch. Marie Bollinger, Jenna Stone, and Elly Stefanko are all quite attractive and personable as the stepdaughters. Popping up in nifty bits are Clint Howard as amiable farmer Karl and Rance Howard as fearsome crime kingpin Scotty. Royce Allen Dudley's glossy widescreen cinematography provides an impressive polished look. Ken Eberhard's rattling score and the lowdown bluesy rock soundtrack hit the stirring spot. A nice'n'nasty item.

I was able to see this at a screening held in Dallas last month, with some of the cast and crew involved also attending. While this movie will not set the world on fire, if you take it at face value (a take off of the 3 Little Pigs with some random and sometimes uncomfortable humor involved), it is a decent flick - worth a rental although not a full-on purchase.Spoilers belowHuff, the titular character played by Charlie O'Connell, is not a good guy - dealing drugs and stepping out with a mistress - who wants to make one big score before leaving the US. Unfortunately, the drug money he has gets into his girlfriend's hands, who then gives the money to her 3 daughters to start a better life with. Huff eventually finds them all, with varying degrees of success about getting the money back.There is some nudity and definitely a lot of blood (although not a lot of gore, really, compared to some slasher flicks). The callbacks to the 3 Little Pigs story are sometimes great and sometimes cringe worthy. The actresses playing the mother and her 3 daughters are not very good, but I don't think this is a movie people will want to watch for the acting skills.For the type of movie it is (which I would consider cheesy, cheeky slasher), I give this a 7/10, or a C. It's not the best in the genre, but it's entertaining.
