Reviews:

  • Kaisley Walsh
    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Briggs Perez
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Axl Cuevas
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
