Reviews:

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

  • Amelia Phelps
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

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

    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.

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