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

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

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