Reviews
Perfect cast and a good story
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
