CGiii Comment
It is definitely an interesting premise...unfortunately, it is not terribly well executed.
There are flashes of talent but the acting does let it down considerably.
Interestingly, if this had had a massive budget - and, a major re-write - an emotional blockbuster could have been made.
Baumgartner's career seems to be slight...but, he does show potential.
Definitely worthy of a look.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
