Michael's Movie Grade:D-
Review: This movie has a good premise that could make a great movie, but doesn't deliver. It's neither a good social commentary or a fun thriller. Instead we mostly watch characters do stupid things. This is neither fun to watch nor is it though provoking it is just annoying. Rather we just feel embarrassed for the characters. There are emotional moments, but all of them have been done before much better elsewhere. The main character is likable enough, but everyone else in this film is simply a stereotype of movie characters, with no depth or anything to make you care. This movie tries to have a good message at the end but there was to little depth to the movie for that message to have any power behind it. The way this message is told is just very poor. Rather it's attempts at social commentary feel very out of place.
On the bright side the film is pretty to look at and the main character is likable, but this simply can't make up how much of a mess the rest of the film was.
