Painfully awful
4 November 2018 | by lindseyrsimon – See all my reviews

Literally one of the worst movies I've seen in the theater. The screenplay is terrible (no one talks like these people talk). The lead actor is terrible (it's apparently his fist acting job). The chronology is all over the place. The film is just BORING. I couldn't wait for it to be over, yet it just kept plodding along.
