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

  • Madilynn Hobbs
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

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