Reviews

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
