After I found out this movie was based on a novel I ordered the book immediately. The premise was great and I loved the potential story here but I felt like there were so many pieces left dangling. Many of the characters felt introduced then abandoned. Luke Grimes was a great leading man-Netflix I would watch a million movies with him in a leading role....but SO many of the other characters felt surface-level. Between Mason (what's his issue?) and Kaylee (musician? Secret genius?) to Sue's unexplored vow of silence and Beckett's unexplained daddy issues it felt like a lot was left for the audience to just assume. What was with Lulu? And whatever happened to Mike?
I really wish more attention had been paid to the characters here instead of spending so much valuable film-time on silly cliches. But, Netflix-more Luke Grimes please!
