  • Yaretzi Quintana
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

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

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
