Terrible movie, zero stars. While the message COULD HAVE been good, the producers screwed this up entirely. Th whole time Naomi Watts is on her phone, literally the entire movie.

Terrible and unrealistic movie and not on the idea of an active shooter. No it's unrealistic that a frantic person could call dispatch, detective, car repair guy and have these types of conversations. The idea that this character is able to speak to speak to shooter. They should have focused on the mental health issue and that being the cause of a large number of these tragic events. For a moment I actually thought that this was going to be focusing on that, the boys grief, being bullied, kid thing medicine yo deal with his emotions, but no. The narrative changed to the usual, why does this person have so many guns , why were they able to get them, why can someone get a hold of an "assault weapon ". Same ol story, completely lose focus of the actual problem and blame an inanimate object. How about we focus on being involved in our family, having time throughout busy schedules to talk and work through the difficulties of life. How about as a parent you educate, instruct and wall with your children to handle everything life can throw at them. Yo not buckle when things get difficult, to be able to work through emotions like grief and anger in this movie. To understand that time is necessary after loss. Focus on making stronger children for future generations instead of reacting from emotions. This movie could have been much much better if they would have stuck on the original mental health message.
