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

    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.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.
