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

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
    Rating: 2.5

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
    Rating: 4.5

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

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