    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

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

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
