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

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

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

  • Kobe Pollard
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
