Reviews
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
