This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
