Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
