The reason the parents don't age as quickly as the kids is basically because kids Do age much more quickly than adults. From 10 to 20 you change a *LOT.* From 30 to 40, it's nowhere near as as noticeable.
I didn't love the movie, but I liked it well enough... and I totally agree with most of your criticisms. That classic stilted Shyamanlan dialogue wasn't quite Happening level bad, but still wasn't great.
Yeah I’m with you. Opening scene (family in car) was especially bad. Everything was so on the nose, he practically laid out the theme in. a single line.😂.
Trailers didn't really do anything for me so was probably gonna give it a miss but damn I didn't expect so much negatives from you lol! Great video as usual Cody, some great laughs and already can't wait for the Hellraiser reviews 😃😃
Two points, then back to the video. 1: I knew you were gonna hate this just by the face you made in the thumbnail and, from what I'm hearing, justifiably so. 2: I am both a rap fan and spent most of my life in Brooklyn (the dangerous one, not the gentrified one) and, yes, "Mid-sized Sedan" would've got beaten all the way the fuck up on GP. Great review, btw.
I remember when I saw this with my best friend in theaters. They were literally crying emotionally at the death of the parents in the movie and I was thinking "really?" Because this movie was written terribly. And it was weird because when we saw Wolfwalkers (which became a recent favorite of mine), they didn't shed a tear which was better written and emotional movie.
Imma watch this movie with my mom and I don’t expect this movie to be great but my mom is pretty excited for it so even if the movie isn’t great the experience with my mom will probably be fun
Saw the trailer when I saw the Quiet Place sequel; with an interesting concept and a really good cast, I had hopes for this one. Unfortunately everyone whose opinion I trust has so far panned it. A pity, since this seemed like something Shyamalan could really make work.
If the girl’s belly is growing while the dude is makin’ an over the top sponge face then I’m on board. If you’re going to go creepy, you should go really creepy
I agree with your assessment, man. I got a screener for it, and so I'm glad I didn't waste my money...but the theater was downtown, so that's 3-1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back. I am always apprehensive of Shyamalan, because I have been burned by him WAY too much. I liked or loved Split, The Visit, Signs, Unbreakable, and The Sixth Sense. I even appreciate SOME OF The Village. Believe me when I say that this is far from his worst, and I thought that the teenage daughter and son characters did the best with the material they were given, but the dialogue and delivery was so awkward that everyone in my audience (including me) were laughing too often at unintentionally funny scenes/moments. No pun intended, but the concept got real old real fast in that last hour, as more and more people died. But the surgery and pregnancy scenes, as well as the cave scene, were pretty well-done body horror. The Dominican Republic locale was beautiful, too, but that's about all the good I have for this depressing and disturbing waste of time. Claustrophobic thrillers like Alien and Jaws clearly inspired this concept, but those were FAR superior. And I predicted the twist, more or less, at the beginning of the movie, and was about 80% right, sadly.
I just finished watching the movie. For the most part, i agree with you. However, its DEFINITELY not his worst movie hes made lol. All in all, its an ok film.
Just like you said, I was a huge fane of M. Nights first few movies {Signs is still a personal favorite) and then his last 3 have been very good as well. I’m still gonna see this but I was really hoping he was gonna knock this out of the park. It’s such a unique concept. He really could have killed it. I still have hopes though.
I honestly haven't fully enjoyed an M. Night film since Unbreakable. With that said, I really dug Old. It has all of Night's trademark problems, but they worked for me this time to create a fun weird tone. It's more intentionally funny than most seem to feel. I didn't expect much and was pretty entertained.
The concept is cool, wasn’t too bad. I liked it. Village was worse, but I think the happening is one of my favorite m night movies. If this had some carnage it feels like it was edited for tv, like there’s some good gore to be had. No spoilers but it had some body horror but it seems held back.
I understand where Cody is coming from and I do agree with him on many of the cons. However, I, for one, enjoyed the big plot twist towards the end. To me id kinda saved the movie from being all out bland. I made most of what was happening made sense and I really understood the whole concept better.
This movie is not about the value of life per se. It's not about age. It's about victims we don't like to think about. It has a powerful message most miss.
I watched this movie for the first time last night. The only “take away” I got was possibly a message to spend time with ur family esp ur kids as much as u can cause a blink of an eye, they will be older. Sure. However, I don’t think that’s the point he was trying to drive. I literally fell asleep half way in and had to force myself to stay awake. I hate that I have to rewatch bc I missed the ending but I don’t think I’m missing much. Having said that, the reason why the scene with the two kids is so confusing is bc they are “apparently” aging but still have 6 year old mentality…so then why wld they be intimate with eachother? 6 year olds don’t think to experiment in this way so thats why that scene made no sense to me and unnecessary. That’s just one example of the concept not very well thought out. If someone has an explanation for that I’d be interested to hear it cause I missed the ending I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. Pls don’t make me have to rewatch lol
Phew...unfortunately I figured this film would be dead on arrival. At least for how I felt about it, I was right. Like many, my relationship with Shyamalan is rocky at the best of times. I watch films like Unbreakable/Split/Glass and the Sixth Sense - which were incredible movies - and I think he may have a shot at redemption. But then I watch stuff like Old, and I even remotely hear about The Last Airbender (still never seen it, and I don't ever plan to) and I think to myself, "who keeps letting this dude make movies?!". And you hit the nail on the head beautifully. All these years I've been trying to put his style of filmmaking into words and you did it: the dude should be making episodes of something, and not full-length motion pictures. His style and concepts would be vastly more suited to 30-minute episodes of Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/Tales From The Dark Side/etc.
After the Village I stopped going to the theater for him because he was SO hit or miss. I did really enjoy the visit but he had so many where I felt like he threw a twist in for the sake of having a twist that I just kinda stopped trusting him as a film creator. I will see this for free whenever I see it.
The graphic novel is maybe 70 pages and only encapsulates all of the beach scenes. Everything else was made for the movie. It's funny that the original story is a graphic novel because it is a GRAPHIC novel. I really liked this movie when I saw it in the theatre because I really like the concept. Whenever it comes out online to watch, I'll watch it again and see if my opinion changes. The kid giving birth thing was in the book. But the baby didn't die. It aged like any other baby to toddler to kid. I know they had to make it more interesting for the movie, but I think keeping the baby alive would've been more interesting than it dying and the girl carrying around a blanket of bones.
It was the logistics for me. The concept was very interesting and I like the overall meaning that we should be more appreciative of the time we get when alive, but there were so many loop holes that just left me scratching my head! First of all: If one can never leave that beach, how did they get the resources from it to make the medications? Second of All: As Cody mentioned, how is it that the kids aged so fast yet the adults stayed basically adults, meanwhile the old lady died short after arriving on the beach. Third of all: How did these people get to even find out about this beach if one can NEVER leave said beach. The list goes on, but they're not worth mentioning. Everyone, just skip this movie lol
I saw OLD on Saturday and if I'll say this...at least it's not snake eyes bad. No I'm serious the theater I went to was giving away posters for Black Widow and Snake Eyes (both of which I have yet to watch) and about 40 minutes before the previews before OLD started I sat in the theater wondering how does a movie have a badass poster and winds up with what said movie from what I heard wound up being.
If Old wanted to tell a story about how life is precious, than don’t set characters on a desert island and their dying fast. Stranded on a island and aging fast is a recipe is a action survival movie like Predetors.
I honestly didn't even know about this movie until I got the notification for your review. I doubt that I'll be checking it out. As far as the 3 movies you mentioned that you haven't seen...I thought Lady In the Water was ok, not good, but ok. After Earth was complete and utter garbage, IMHO. And finally, I refused to watch The Last Airbender, so I can't give any personal insight on that one. I am on your side with the Glass argument, though, I thought it was a pretty damn good movie, and a satisfying end to the trilogy. Thanks for the video!
Positives end a little after 2 mintues, that's gotta be a record! 😂 Great review, it was really funny, that renactment you did made me laugh. I'm always cautious with M Night, It's too bad this one sounds The Happening like levels. Lady in the Water had some pretty cool ideas and the 2 leads were decent, but I thought it was pretty boring, I hope you enjoy it better. Looking forward to the ranking!
i read somewhere that he goes on first drafts, and it looks like most of his movies suffer from that, i like unbreakable, and sixth sense, but if it was because of all the hype and expectation after sixth sense to keep doing those level of movies he certainly keeps missing his mark, we have wanted more and all we get are duds.
Not as good as 6th Sense and his earlier films but I still enjoyed it. There's hardly anyone I know acting in this movie accept for the director Shamylan himself who makes an appearance just like he does in some of his previous films and Ken Leung is one of the guys who get killed off. If u don't remember who he is he played the main villian with the yellow hair in the first Rush Hour film.
The idea gave me something to think about and to cherish life and to chill with toxicity and arguments. I enjoyed that take away. I would put this down there with The Happening. I might have laughed harder watching this though and great Adam Sandler comparison!
Wow, wasnt expecting a negative review for this one. I understand where you're coming from and I think some of your points were valid and I felt the same way but they didnt drop the film down to 1 star. As a slasher fan, I'm sure you're well aware that most of the films have characters that serve no purpose to the story, and are only there to be killed off.... but I dont here you dropping those films to 1 star. I dont think the acting was nearly as bad as you're making it out to be, I think the actors did show emotion, and I think the damage and trauma of what the kids and even the parents experienced was shown. The film wasnt about pacing or climax or anything like that... the movie itself played out the way the script and story was told... in a fast pace, rapid method, which is a reflection of the story of losing time, the pace matched the theme of the story. Not every movie has to be made the same way, with the best pacing and climatic structure. Shoot, Quentin Tarantino did thinks completely different with Pulp Fiction in the structure of that film... but I dont here you criticizing him for it. Overall I think it was a good film, the story has a message and that counts for something for me, more than one star at least. I do see the flaws, some you mentioned but none of them were so bad that they made this a one star film. I respect your opinion and review on this one, I would just strongly disagree. I gave it 3 stars.
This is actually my first review of urs I disagree with u. I actually enjoyed this movie, I didn’t like the ending much but I wouldn’t say it was anywhere near the worst film. But hey that’s why I like watching reviews I like to see others opinions.
Watching reviews are entertaining, but if you use them to determine to watch something you're doing it wrong. I love a lot of movies that have bad critic reviews.
6 year old boy weights 45lbs, six days later he's 18 years old and weighs 145lbs. Where did the mass come from? Did this kid eat 100lbs of food in 6 days and metabolize it with no waste? lol
it was so fun. It’s not a film, it’s a movie. Granny crawling under the house, granny scratching the walls, decent twist, this is why we watch movies. But y’all wanna be intellectuals and keep from enjoying anything
@@cazeycroland4 It wasn't fun, it was an interesting concept that was wasted. Couldn't stand the main characters, especially the older sister, the film wasn't scary nor tense, the twist was predictable and dumb, the ending was disappointing, the acting was mediocre at best, so many issues with this dumb film. Nowhere near as bad as Old, but still, M Night needs to retire from making films, his shitty twists can't save him and haven't saved him these past two decades. "But *_Y'aLl_* wanna be intellectuals" uh, no we don't. We just want a good movie, not a shitty one.
i did like the film, and i see the issues but to me i liked the way it was shot and i felt it was a good film not perfect. I wasn't surprised by the "twist" because I felt it was going to happen knowing his style of directing, I would put it in my top 5 films as I was engaged through the whole film with the dialogue and shooting style of the film.
I personally thought the films idea couldve been done better but I dont think the film was terrible but it definitely wasnt good. Its just a film you could throw on and turn your brain off for a bit. I also agree with Cody that the ending could've come sooner and imo they should've switched the ending to make it more ambiguous
Kinda crazy how people just read and watch reviews and make up their mind before seeing the movie themselves. I love this channel and others, but I always wait til after I’ve seen the movie.
Yeah, he M night lost me for good with Glass. I liked split and the visit, but Glass just had a stupid premise, like we already know they have powers, there were 2 movies about. Such a waste. I'll be skipping this one too. Thanks for the heads up. P.s. love the shirt!
Was hoping that M. Night Shyamalan would make a comeback this time around, but man all these negative reviews aren't promising. Might skip this one, as it wasn't really appealing to me in the first place. Great review!
I'm watching it now on HBO/MAX...the dialouge is abysmal. If Rufus Sewall can't figure out what movie Jack Nicholson and Brando were in I want my 9.99 back.
I just finished watching this movie and i gotta say it isn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen but definitely is not the best. I’d never really heard of this director so going into it, I didn’t have any expectations. I personally think the one thing I could say to sum up this movie would be that it was a potentially great concept but was executed pretty poorly. I think that the concept of the movie that he created could’ve turned out to be amazing and he could’ve created a much better movie than he did. I just think it didn’t have the best dialogue and honestly, I’m not sure if this was because of the dialogue, the acting didn’t seem great either. I’m not at all saying that only well known actors/actresses are good at acting, but some of the actors/actresses in this movie could’ve done better. This also could totally have been the dialogue’s fault so no one get mad at me. There was something off about the movie the whole time and I can’t think of what it was. It’s on the tip of my tongue but I am just really not sure right now. I also think there were a couple holes in the plot and the ending could’ve turned out wayyyy better. I wish he had set it up in a way where the end would be a huge twist because my favorite is when i leave a movie theater going holy shit and being in total shock after watching a movie twist ending. This movie, while it did have a unique and interesting ending, didn’t leave me in awe, but rather had me a little confused and let down. Once again, I wish he had set it up where it would’ve been more of a shock to viewers instead of just an explanation. I’m gonna stop now or else I’ll just keep going forever, but overall, it wasn’t a terrible movie so I’d probably give it a 6/10. The storyline was sort of there and it was a good concept for a movie but it would have been perfect if he had just executed it better :)
You just perfectly encapsulated every thought I had when I walked out of the theater after this movie, Great review
There was some nice camerawork. And the location looked beautiful.
Mid sized sedan had me rolling! He'd get his ass beat on principle 🤣🤣
The reason the parents don't age as quickly as the kids is basically because kids Do age much more quickly than adults. From 10 to 20 you change a *LOT.* From 30 to 40, it's nowhere near as as noticeable.
Clearly you never saw hasbullah as the lineal heavyweight champ of the world
@@eddiew2325 You've answered your own question. That's due to what he's put his own body through.
The hair could have at least grayed….they got wrinkles but no significant hair change which is a big part of aging
@@Reeseballin8 Depends on the person, but if I remember correctly, they *did* start going grey.
For real I feel like that was very easy to understand
Cody this shit was hilarious, buddy! Love it!
I didn't love the movie, but I liked it well enough... and I totally agree with most of your criticisms. That classic stilted Shyamanlan dialogue wasn't quite Happening level bad, but still wasn't great.
Yeah I’m with you. Opening scene (family in car) was especially bad. Everything was so on the nose, he practically laid out the theme in. a single line.😂.
Yeah was better than I excepted tbh 5/10
I like the happening dialogue, pretty funny.
Same I understand all the issues with this movie but I actually enjoyed it and think it's worth a watch to form your own opinion
To me thjs script is his worst. Maybe the acting influenced thag opinion but man it was cringe worthy.
This movie lost me with Mid-Size Sedan, I checked out that moment.
Trailers didn't really do anything for me so was probably gonna give it a miss but damn I didn't expect so much negatives from you lol!
Great video as usual Cody, some great laughs and already can't wait for the Hellraiser reviews 😃😃
Casting the kid from Hereditary made me think “young version of me” was a thought M Night had when he chose him.
This film being based on a short story makes a lot more sense now.
Your videos genuinely make my day😂😂
Two points, then back to the video.
1: I knew you were gonna hate this just by the face you made in the thumbnail and, from what I'm hearing, justifiably so.
2: I am both a rap fan and spent most of my life in Brooklyn (the dangerous one, not the gentrified one) and, yes, "Mid-sized Sedan" would've got beaten all the way the fuck up on GP.
Great review, btw.
Walking around Sam's with my bluetooth in. Just heard you say "Mid-sized Sedan" and busted out laughing. People are looking at me weird now lol
Love the Freddy tshirt!!
Great review Cody. Looking forward for M Night ranking.
I definitely agree with you, I have seen 22 movies from 2021, and this is unfortunately the first one that felt like a absolute waste of my time.
I remember when I saw this with my best friend in theaters. They were literally crying emotionally at the death of the parents in the movie and I was thinking "really?" Because this movie was written terribly. And it was weird because when we saw Wolfwalkers (which became a recent favorite of mine), they didn't shed a tear which was better written and emotional movie.
You know it’s bad when he’s done with the positives at 2:30 in a 14 min video
Imma watch this movie with my mom and I don’t expect this movie to be great but my mom is pretty excited for it so even if the movie isn’t great the experience with my mom will probably be fun
The only thing this film achieved was, it is a film.
One positive I got out of this was the little boy who played the young version of Trent. I got some laughs from him.
Signs is my favourite film of his that he's done, that movie scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and great review Cody!
that movie is a MASTERPIECE. love it.
I love your T-shirt!
I can't believe you uploaded an old review instead of a new review.
Saw the trailer when I saw the Quiet Place sequel; with an interesting concept and a really good cast, I had hopes for this one. Unfortunately everyone whose opinion I trust has so far panned it. A pity, since this seemed like something Shyamalan could really make work.

are u gonna see the new snake eyes movie
Will you be reacting to the full chucky tv series trailer premiering today on comic con?

Great review! Can you please tell us where you got that ultra cool shirt?
When my wife and I watched it we couldn't stop laughing at the rapper's name being "Mid-sized Sedan".

This is why they give Oscars for screenplay adaptations.

What is your name and occupation?

The concept is cool, wasn’t too bad. I liked it. Village was worse, but I think the happening is one of my favorite m night movies. If this had some carnage it feels like it was edited for tv, like there’s some good gore to be had. No spoilers but it had some body horror but it seems held back.
Great review man. Totally agree, the writing was ATROCIOUS.

i read somewhere that he goes on first drafts, and it looks like most of his movies suffer from that, i like unbreakable, and sixth sense, but if it was because of all the hype and expectation after sixth sense to keep doing those level of movies he certainly keeps missing his mark, we have wanted more and all we get are duds.
You heard wrong🙄
Was this movie really as bad as Lady in the Water, The Happening, The Last Airbender, or After Earth?
Not as good as 6th Sense and his earlier films but I still enjoyed it. There's hardly anyone I know acting in this movie accept for the director Shamylan himself who makes an appearance just like he does in some of his previous films and Ken Leung is one of the guys who get killed off. If u don't remember who he is he played the main villian with the yellow hair in the first Rush Hour film.
Can someone explain to me what happened to the Prego chick/context about her ?? Only thing i’ve seen people say “WTF” about 😂😭😭
M Night dropped another “The Happening” ? 😭😭
The idea gave me something to think about and to cherish life and to chill with toxicity and arguments. I enjoyed that take away. I would put this down there with The Happening. I might have laughed harder watching this though and great Adam Sandler comparison!
What ever happened to what’s in the inbox?
Just recorded the rest of an episode tonight
The teaser running on socials genuinely got me quite into this film, but clearly it's the concept that resonates, not the movie
Wow, wasnt expecting a negative review for this one. I understand where you're coming from and I think some of your points were valid and I felt the same way but they didnt drop the film down to 1 star.
As a slasher fan, I'm sure you're well aware that most of the films have characters that serve no purpose to the story, and are only there to be killed off.... but I dont here you dropping those films to 1 star.
I dont think the acting was nearly as bad as you're making it out to be, I think the actors did show emotion, and I think the damage and trauma of what the kids and even the parents experienced was shown.
The film wasnt about pacing or climax or anything like that... the movie itself played out the way the script and story was told... in a fast pace, rapid method, which is a reflection of the story of losing time, the pace matched the theme of the story.
Not every movie has to be made the same way, with the best pacing and climatic structure. Shoot, Quentin Tarantino did thinks completely different with Pulp Fiction in the structure of that film... but I dont here you criticizing him for it.
Overall I think it was a good film, the story has a message and that counts for something for me, more than one star at least. I do see the flaws, some you mentioned but none of them were so bad that they made this a one star film. I respect your opinion and review on this one, I would just strongly disagree. I gave it 3 stars.
I def agree with you about the end like all that stuff and the twist I hated but I liked some of the other stuff. 5/10
This is actually my first review of urs I disagree with u. I actually enjoyed this movie, I didn’t like the ending much but I wouldn’t say it was anywhere near the worst film. But hey that’s why I like watching reviews I like to see others opinions.
I wanna see this but damn I heard mixed reviews
Watching reviews are entertaining, but if you use them to determine to watch something you're doing it wrong. I love a lot of movies that have bad critic reviews.
@@DropoutJerome I do as well. Just never seen as many bad reviews over good especially for a M Night movie lol
Go and see it for yourself little boy
6 year old boy weights 45lbs, six days later he's 18 years old and weighs 145lbs. Where did the mass come from? Did this kid eat 100lbs of food in 6 days and metabolize it with no waste? lol
Cant give him full criticism in this cause it based on another work. So should we not give him full criticism when it comes to the last airbender?
I said can't give him full credit for the concept. Never said anything about criticism.
Ah. Ok.
Jarred not Jacob. Smh
Congrats you corrected a complete stranger on a detail nobody cares about. Hopefully you can get through your day now.
They sterilized the knife when they did the surgery.
I guess M Night has become too 'old' to make good movies.
the visit was fascinating
@@cazeycroland4
I thought it was terrible
@@cazeycroland4 I thought that film was godawful
it was so fun. It’s not a film, it’s a movie. Granny crawling under the house, granny scratching the walls, decent twist, this is why we watch movies. But y’all wanna be intellectuals and keep from enjoying anything
@@cazeycroland4
It wasn't fun, it was an interesting concept that was wasted. Couldn't stand the main characters, especially the older sister, the film wasn't scary nor tense, the twist was predictable and dumb, the ending was disappointing, the acting was mediocre at best, so many issues with this dumb film. Nowhere near as bad as Old, but still, M Night needs to retire from making films, his shitty twists can't save him and haven't saved him these past two decades.
"But *_Y'aLl_* wanna be intellectuals" uh, no we don't. We just want a good movie, not a shitty one.
i did like the film, and i see the issues but to me i liked the way it was shot and i felt it was a good film not perfect. I wasn't surprised by the "twist" because I felt it was going to happen knowing his style of directing, I would put it in my top 5 films as I was engaged through the whole film with the dialogue and shooting style of the film.
I personally thought the films idea couldve been done better but I dont think the film was terrible but it definitely wasnt good. Its just a film you could throw on and turn your brain off for a bit. I also agree with Cody that the ending could've come sooner and imo they should've switched the ending to make it more ambiguous
Wasn’t the same knife to cut the tumor and kill the other guy
Kinda crazy how people just read and watch reviews and make up their mind before seeing the movie themselves. I love this channel and others, but I always wait til after I’ve seen the movie.
Yeah, he M night lost me for good with Glass. I liked split and the visit, but Glass just had a stupid premise, like we already know they have powers, there were 2 movies about. Such a waste. I'll be skipping this one too. Thanks for the heads up.
P.s. love the shirt!
What!? Glass is amazing!!
Was hoping that M. Night Shyamalan would make a comeback this time around, but man all these negative reviews aren't promising. Might skip this one, as it wasn't really appealing to me in the first place. Great review!
Nobody grows long hair, beards, nails. They would also die of dehydration and hunger within seconds due to years worth of lack of water, and nutrients
I'm watching it now on HBO/MAX...the dialouge is abysmal. If Rufus Sewall can't figure out what movie Jack Nicholson and Brando were in I want my 9.99 back.
The baby wasn't stillborn...
I just finished watching this movie and i gotta say it isn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen but definitely is not the best. I’d never really heard of this director so going into it, I didn’t have any expectations. I personally think the one thing I could say to sum up this movie would be that it was a potentially great concept but was executed pretty poorly. I think that the concept of the movie that he created could’ve turned out to be amazing and he could’ve created a much better movie than he did. I just think it didn’t have the best dialogue and honestly, I’m not sure if this was because of the dialogue, the acting didn’t seem great either. I’m not at all saying that only well known actors/actresses are good at acting, but some of the actors/actresses in this movie could’ve done better. This also could totally have been the dialogue’s fault so no one get mad at me. There was something off about the movie the whole time and I can’t think of what it was. It’s on the tip of my tongue but I am just really not sure right now. I also think there were a couple holes in the plot and the ending could’ve turned out wayyyy better. I wish he had set it up in a way where the end would be a huge twist because my favorite is when i leave a movie theater going holy shit and being in total shock after watching a movie twist ending. This movie, while it did have a unique and interesting ending, didn’t leave me in awe, but rather had me a little confused and let down. Once again, I wish he had set it up where it would’ve been more of a shock to viewers instead of just an explanation. I’m gonna stop now or else I’ll just keep going forever, but overall, it wasn’t a terrible movie so I’d probably give it a 6/10. The storyline was sort of there and it was a good concept for a movie but it would have been perfect if he had just executed it better :)
I watched this last night and I actually liked it
