My Movie Review: The movie is a psychological thriller about revenge to the school bully from the past comes to haunt. It's payback time for Gordo The Weirdo when he tries to ruin Simon's present life who has successful career and loving wife giving mysterious gifts. Robyn on their house one day had a black out received a gift she can't refuse a child but Simon had doubts whether the child was his due to what Gordo might done in the footage.
My Favorite Lines: "You think you're done with the past, but the past is not done with you." "Good people deserve good things." "Excuse me, we went to school together. Sorry, I can't place you. Gordon, Gordon Mosely." "Back then, everybody had a name. I had a name: Simple Simon. Kids are cruel. Kids are honest." "How well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?" "I believe the bad things in life, they can be a gift." "What does ‘let bygones be bygones’ mean?"
