User Reviews

Ignoring the fact the whole plot is predictible, the movie is too long! +2 hours

Too many dead scenes, where nothing happens. They went to the park, let the camera roll and bam! "I got you, bro, at least 5 minutes of footage".

Otherwise actors were quite ok. But I wouldn't recommend watching this movie. Maybe if you skip the dead scenes with fast forward, the movie will get bearable, and you'll save yourself 1,5 hours.
