Reviews
Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
