Fantastic!
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
