Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
