Yes, the plot isn't original but the execution and realism are done very well. The main character is gutsy, gritty and you just can't help but worry about her survival. I liked the dark, dreary setting and I particularly liked the meth cook that rescues her. Despite the business he was in, and his cousins, he had was a decent human being, stuck doing drugs since he was 14 with no other life experience. No car. Jsut a trailer. He was by himself for so long and had the chance to step out of his lonely existence and rescue this girl. They were both more intelligent than their accenets would lead one to initially assess. That helped them form a trust bond. He sacrified himself, and he knew it would come to that - he said he was ready to leave, but he didnt' say where - he meant leave this world. His redemption from a live of meth lab work was sacrificing himsefl to see her escape.

Acting - 8 Plot Originality - 5 Set location and realism - 10 Themes of survival and rising above evil/sacrifice - 10

33/4 - 8.x.
