Really Surprised!
A Brilliant Conflict
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
