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

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

    Absolutely hilarious! The humor was spot on, and the comedic timing was perfect.

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

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