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

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

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

  • Silas Butler
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
