Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
