This is the kind of movie that in the hands of a good director would have been fantastic! Unfortunately here it's full of stereotypes and clichés. Most of the acting is over the top, not natural and therefore not believable. Dialogues are cheesy, people don't normally talk like this.
The subject is a very serious matter and should have stayed like that, but the director thought it would be cool to embed some jokes or funny situations, which almost ruined the movie, because not funny and don't match with its spirit. The worst part is that not a single character is likable. In reality up to the middle of the movie one feels some kind of sympathy for the main character, because at first he looks like a weird but actually decent guy who just can't take it anymore, but then he too starts to over-egg the pudding and becomes a pain in the ass. At the beginning the policeman seems to be a considerate cop, but at the end turns out to be as one-dimensional as all others. The parallel story with his grumpy wife is completely dispensable, since it adds nothing to the plot.
Watchable, but somehow a bit flawed.
