Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
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?
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
