Pacing: agree with others. The pace can drop out but hang in there; It picks back up.
Plot: no spoilers. I just suggest...follow along and let the characters tell the tale. You're rooting for everything to work out. Age old story: prisoner, wants to reconnect with lost family, has demons to fight, little help (because he's a ex-con) but little glimpses of hope to keep you rooting for him. What seems like unneeded side characters add to where story is going but also, makes you scratch your head a little. Be patient.
Acting: for the most part, well acted. Some of the lines are a little forced. Even repetitive. This goes back to pacing. But the actors pulled it off. Just let the campy parts be campy.
Last notes: I loved the story and the plot twist. I hated the way it wrapped up. But I like tight endings. You may not feel the same. All this to say, it's not time wasted seeing this movie.
