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

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

  • Winter Barry
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

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