Don't listen to the negative reviews
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
