 Interestingly this film featured a huge A list star being Naomi Watts but there was little interest to this film which is why it flopped. Her performance was panned along with the film, suggesting that star power is ineffective in modern times.

 There was a London premiere on the 5th September 2013 and was released in cinemas on 20th September 2013, it was panned by the press and the critics. It only made it into 100 cinemas which played a huge role in the demise of the films success, it was also only featured in cinemas for a total of 4 weeks. The film was described as 'car crash cinema' and 'atrocious', which is why Naomi Watts stormed out of an interview promoting the film.
