I liked the movie overall, the acting was believable, the primary male actor was a 10+ in acting ability, I just really hope he is not an actual smoker for real, he runs well, so I doubt it
The 'set' was very believable, I got a real impression of two teen age males living in low class (and white, yea there are plenty of poor whites in this country, despite not being represented much in the sympathy media strands), the places the filming was done were the kind of places poor kids would be found
I can see a script argument occurred here, 'Lets make them poor kids in gangs and involved in drug trafficking'!!! Countered with, "How about we just make them typical poor kids".
I liked that the viewer had to figure out stuff, like-- how are people being selected and why would it occur in this manner?--
The one thing that really brought the movie down was saying that the visitors pre- dated the big bang, there is NO way the scientists would know something like that, especially since no communication ever occurred, AND the visitors are clearly trying to increase their numbers, which implies a finite life span
