Good action, decent dialogue and likable characters

The main characters (Iowa and Ellie) were quite likable. Other characters (FBI agent) also did a great job in the film. The setting of the film was believable for Iowa considering it takes place in the rural part of the state. Some of the special effects could have obviously been better. This seems to be due to budget limitations. Dialogue was decent and the plot line was better than most I've seen recently with major distribution. I'm not sure what that says for Hollywood and how they're spending their hard earned cash these days. As far as wide release goes, this movie obviously didn't warrant getting quite that far. With a few tweaks to the script and budget, it potentially could have been a contender. For a limited budget film, however, I thought they pulled off a decent flick here.
