Reviews:

  • Justice Webb
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
    Rating: 2

  • Finley Frazier
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
    Rating: 3

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

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

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