Goofs

(at around 1h 25 mins) When Damian crashes Martin's SUV on the car in front, the airbags of the SUV as seen from a long distance shot clearly inflate. But on the exact next shot from inside the car, we see Damian still driving with no airbags inflated.

User Reviews

Very Underrated

Even know this movie might not seem amazing to most people now, I can guarantee that in about a decade or even less, the movie will gain a following and it will be big! Absolutely great! We need more movies not based on any books, comics, movies, games, anything, just original ideas is what we need! This is a fantastic film! There are a few flaws in it though, but I do not want to spoil the film. Ryan Reynolds gives a very good performance in the movie, Ben Kingsley also does, everyone gives a good performance except whoever played the mom. Just wait, there will be a following for this film, there will be t-shirts and merch for this movie years from now when more people are seeing it, it should not have been released in Summer, where it is going to get killed, should have came out in September or October.
