You might not have all the pieces fitting perfectly, but hindsight quickly fills in the blanks. That's a testament to an underrated script and a deceivingly worthwhile film. Go to Full Review

Henry O. @henryoff 10h Phenomenal hidden gem. Keeps you on your toes and thinking throughout the whole film, it has a good story and even adds twists. Those who rate it low clearly just didn’t pay attention. Definitely recommend. See more Jason K @Warlockofwifi 3d This movie seems to have something good buried in it. But it is so deeply buried I gave up trying to find it. See more Shally B @Shallan 6d 85% is what Rotten Tomato gave this B move at best? Makes me want to never trust there score again. This movie was written sloppy and the acting was bad. Nothing mad since I had to google to figure out what the heck just happened? There are some twists but they’re done in away that just makes you roll your eyes not ok OMG!! Watch something else is my suggestion. Two stars because it had potential.
