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

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

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.

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