Reviews:

  • Sariyah Taylor
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

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

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

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

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