Frankly, I found this film disappointing


I just saw this and I have to say, it had SO much potential and simply didn't much deliver. There isn't even one truly likable or even all that interesting character in it. At least not whom had more than a minute or two total screen-time. The story itself it poorly drawn, the directing seems misguiding and the editing appears choppy at best.


But what do I know. I'm just a girl.

I completely agree.

The plot sounded interesting, so my husband and I watched it tonight.

15 minutes in, we laughed at how boring it was. 15 minutes later, we commented that it might be the least interesting movie we've watched.

We watched the entire thing, while joking that it was like a train wreck that you couldn't turn away from. We were nearly on the edge of our seats, waiting for the film to redeem itself. "It has to get better.. there is NO WAY that it is this dull and ridiculously slow the entire time"

But hey, we were wrong. It sucked the whole way through.

It could have been SO much better. The cast was great, and the plot could have lead to an intriguing story.. but.. ugh.
