The movie moves day by day through Tommys ordeal.
Hes thinking for himself and living on his own outside of his family dictating what his life should be.
Hes a man who is just now growing up who no one wants to wait around for that.
There is such potential in Johnsons script, but the third act is all over the place.
It forces the audience to decipher whether or not everything weve seen is real.
The music also follows the same unfocused path, which often left me shaking my head in confusion.
There are some doo-wop songs mixed with a hoarse horror score that sometimes drowns out the comedic moments.
Self-Relianceis never dull, but the story isnt as well structured.
So the audience just went through all that for what?
There is a great story in there somewhere, but disappointing viewing experience overall.
