I did not come close to meeting my goal last week. I am disappointed in myself, but also have to consider my schedule. We had a huge surprise party for the boys and that took a lot of time, energy and planning. I planned to make up some miles on Sunday, but just could not get myself off the couch. Monday started a new week, with the same goal...100 miles.
I was going to start out slow and log in 15-18 miles considering the few days off. However, I felt pretty good as the "ride" progressed, so I went for 20. I also increaded the resistance for part of the ride. I mix it up to keep it interesting. The highest resistance to date is 5. It felt good to be able to push it again.
The movie I chose was Godspeed directed by Robert Saitzyk. This movie falls under the Indie Suspence & Thriller category.
Godspeed is a slow moving story of vengeance and murder. Set in Alaska, this movie provides decent camera work allowing the viewer to enjoy the beauty of this state. The acting was on the better side of average. This movie lacked a decent storyline, however. It appears the writer attempted to combine all that makes for great thriller and crammed it into this film without rhyme or reason. The overt religious themes was not complete enough for it to have an impact. The initial crime of vengeance had the potential to make for a great thriller, but one important ingredient was missing, the suspense. There was nothing in this movie that needed to be "figured out" Everything was given to you as the movie slowly played out.
Long story short, Charlie (Joseph McKelheer) was a cheating "faith healer" who wife and son were murdered while he was with a hooker. The crime was carried out by Luke (Cory Knauf) and his mentally incompetent follower. The murders were carried out to avenge the death of Luke's mother, who went to Charlie to be "healed" and died shortly after of cancer, which lead to the suicide of his father. The majority of the movie is set 6 months after the murders when Luke's sister, Sarah (Courtney Halverson) brings Charlie to their rural compound. As the movie unfolded I kept waiting for something big to happen, something to tie everything together. It never came.
The only redeeming value of this movie was the acting skills of Cory Knauf. My grade for this movie is a C-. If you have a Sunday afternoon with nothing to do, it may be worth a watch.
