    Never been a fan of Ashton and still doesn't change my mind but did like the story line
  • eiriganceJanuary 28, 2025
    I love the idea of this movie. It's Thrilling, Creative & I did enjoy 80% of it, but it does drag a bit in spots, has some wonk & not the best ending (imho)
  • Daniel GustavssonOctober 13, 2024
    Fascinating and well made. The ending is stupid though.
