Reviews
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
