Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
