  • Kairi Jimenez
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

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

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