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

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

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

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