Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
