  • Ephraim Wells
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.

  • Adele Wang
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Cohen Richard
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
