The cast is talented. Baldacci characters are always so interesting, but the depth doesn't translate to the screen. I love the role of Edgar and he could be more developed. I think the writing (or perhaps the directing) doesn't lend authenticity to the story. It is like sitting in an audience when someone is making a speech, and watching the speech-maker lose his audience. It's uncomfortable. I joined IMDb for the first time simply to post this feedback for what it's worth. For example, the trunk scene and the bar scene were just painful to watch. I was not pulled in to the story, but instead felt uncomfortable that this was obviously being acted. IMHO there's too much going on and it needs to be simplified and the characters more developed. The actors are at times over acting to pull off the script. The good news is that the audience seems to really WANT it to work. Great recipe, please work on making it more realistic and credible!
