8 / 10

This movie does little to address the burning issue . . .

Otherwise, he’s exposing his loved ones to a couple packs-a-day worth of second-hand tobacco smoke, though half the time that he’s driving he seems to switch over to a joint. It’s not made clear in the movie whether his most recent psychiatric commitment is voluntary, or has been ordered by the state. Though he’s shown wielding a machete around his apartment, Cam’s most violent outbursts are with his fists.
