Good concept, poorly executed.

An action-packed slog

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

To be quite honest with ya, this film does really make your brain go round in circles, the plot is just awful. I honestly thought Seth Green was gonna do a better job then ever and this was when he started Family Guy! However I don't think he understood the involvement of the movie so it was kinda hard to understand him. It was a disappointment, I normally like Seth Green and his acting skills but hey it was good to see him anyway! So back to the film, we see a normal ordinary guy who has earned a scholarship and is a mature student in a college named StoneBrook. Right we then see Seth Green's character being weird,etc. This then really turns onto the confusing part where they meet mob boss Talli and starts talking business. The plot should've involved more detail on how the two students met the mob boss so that it would make more sense. I thought it wasn't going anywhere with the storyline. Anyways overall, its an OK movie but not great!

To sum-up: Stonebrook isn't anything new but I still found it interesting as it progressed. Brad Rowe plays a college loner who sort of befriends Seth Green and gets caught up in some small time crime that gradually blows up in his face in a big way. The plot twists were very "expectable" but still enjoyable all throughout the film.
Pro's & con's:+ Good storyline with fitting character'sIt has the feel of a Television movie

Co-writer, co-producer and director, Bryon W. Thompson, has created a very under-rated thriller. A story about a country boy (Rowe)who seeks a better life through the help of an old family friend (Mesnik). He applies to Stonebrook Uni, meets a beautiful girl (McLellan), as well as an eccentric room-mate(Green)who is in his own mind 'a very dangerous man'. Life is great, that's until he and his room-mate accidentally steals from a mob boss (Kamel). From here it's a rollercoaster ride full of unexpected twists. If the story doesn't sound interesting enough, wait til the underlying story unfolds. The performances are good. You believe every character. The direction is also good. There are many cut away reminiscing scenes (much like 'The Usual Suspects') that are needed due to the intricate plot. This allows the viewer to keep up with the story causing the plot twists to work more effectively. Good thriller. Not quite great. But if you like a thriller with a twist. I recommend you check it out.

Stonebrook was a little hard to follow, with all the different cons going on, and I'm a little confused about some parts. It wasn't bad, though. Seth Green made the movie more enjoyable. Brad Rowe did a really good job. Overall I'd give it a 7/10.
