Product Description: Living in seclusion, Frank and Donnie have created a safe haven, free from the turmoil of the outside world. Frank (Edward Ice Mrozek) has successfully subdued an intense rage, in an effort to rise above his murderous father and live a good life. His brother, Donnie (Christopher Childs) relies on him completely, the abuse and torment of their past rending him emotionally stunted. Forced to rescue his brother from a violent attack, Frank crosses paths with the local sheriff, a girl is mysteriously killed, and they kidnap the only witness, a young cafe manager named Beth (Shana Klisanin). Now Frank and Donnie have a dead body on their hands, a girl in their house, and the entire town suspects them as killers.
Some Rhyme, Little Reason The ending to this movie really disappointed me. Did she survive or was she just dreaming that part? Was the older brother choking her at the end? Another major problem I have with this one is that it took so much time and effort to develop the other three characters, shouldn't one of them have survived? I always love the "lost in the woods" theme. And what happened that made the mentally challenged brother, all of a sudden, start talking like he was the head of Microsoft. That is a mystery. There were too many questions for me to give this movie more than two stars, though I have seen much worse. The acting was good, as was the idea, but the story was not put together well. The reasoning for killing the two lovebirds at the end made no sense at all, even for serial killers.
Also, it seemed to me that the relationship between the kidnapped waitress and the retarded brother should have been written better. His developing feelings for her could have led him to help her escape and even have a fight to the death with his brother. The movie lead us to believe that he was innocent and niave, being misled by his older brother. All of a sudden he turns normal and then has his throat slashed by who I thought was his crush, in the middle of a fight.
