ThiefHott Too much of everything
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
