Reviews
Let's be realistic.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
