    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

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

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