Save your money for something good and enjoyable
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
