User Reviews

I don't know why this is reviewed so bad...

When I originally saw the reviews for this movie I was cautious to watch this thinking it would be bad, but I watched it any way and I'm very impressed. this movie was amazing. the acting was so professional and I really liked the plot, it was multi-layered which made the whole thing so interesting when revealed at the end. the whole movie kept me on the edge of my seat and was so well done, I do have to say the movie to me seemed aimed to the female gender as that's one of the main plot lines but its open to interpretations. Definitely recommend the watch.
