Trevor Johnston Radio Times It's a familiar scenario, and there's zero chemistry between the characters. Rated: 2/5 Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Quite a simple story so the movie dragged in places. The characters were quite clear though it was a little hard to relate to the antagonists scheme. Overall not bad but no thrill ride. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
