It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Best movie of this year hands down!
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.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
