'The Space Between Us' Review

A mission that aims to create a human civilisation is underway with one of the astronauts giving birth to the first Martian shortly after arriving.  Unfortunately, the mother dies leaving a child without family on a different planet. Gardner (Asa Butterfield) is kept a secret from Earth to avoid backlash from the public. At 16 years old, the decision to bring Gardner to Earth is made as he becomes close to a girl Tulsa (Britt Robertson) via video and text chat. After it becomes clear that Gardner may be sent back to Mars due to health reasons, he runs away to find Tulsa in hope to help find his father and where he belongs in the world.

The tale of a person coming to Earth for the first time is an interesting idea as there are many things to explore and interact with that you wouldn't get with usual extraterrestrials. You don't have to waste any time with hiding the character new to Earth or developing communication. The concept itself is very solid, yet 'The Space Between Us' cannot back that up.

Director Peter Chelsom brings us one of the strangest films this year despite having a decent story behind it with 'The Space Between Us'. The film is unmistakably a romance with sci-fi elements within it, yet it is pretty hard to figure out who this film is aimed toward. With its romance elements, the film could've easily looked to have targeted a more female-dominated demographic, making this a complete rom-com. However, the film focuses mainly on Asa Butterfield's character Gardner and the romance aspects are a fairly small part of the film. The film also combines sci-fi elements but again, not a lot to make the film a definitive sci-fi movie. Amongst these elements are comedy moments, some action scenes and some deep drama. The biggest problem with 'The Space Between Us' is that it fails to combine everything smoothly making the film very tonally inconsistent. The film never commits fully to any of its aspects making some unintentionally hilarious moments due to moments feeling so out of place. This is most evident with the incredibly hilarious action scene featuring a plane crash which really came out of nowhere. Due to moments like these, it's hard to take the film seriously which it desperately needs you to especially as it reaches the end of the film.

Despite this, there is a charm to 'The Space Between Us' that stops it from being an unbearable film. There are doses of quality with some clever jokes, good performances and the basic story is an intriguing one. There is a good film within this concept, it's just that all of the pieces weren't necessarily right for this film. Asa Butterfield leads this film as he continues to build his name and credibility and he doesn't do himself any harm in this film. Butterfield does well reacting and playing off seeing Earth for the first time. The biggest problem is ultimately the script which jumps between moods too quickly, making the character seem foolish and very odd but not in a good way. Britt Robertson also is victim to the script as she plays very little part in the first hour of the film, only showing up a handful of times. Her character's background is very sceptical too as it brings up a trope of someone being unliked for seemingly no reason when in reality, they'd probably be the most popular person. Despite this, the character does progress well showing a troubled side throughout the film, showcasing trust issues despite wanting to get attached. Robertson's character Tulsa is a great example of the film's failings, there are moments that are well done but after that, there are a couple of bewildering moments.


Ultimately, there are things to enjoy about 'The Space Between Us'. There is an odd charm to it but there is no denying that the film has some terrible elements within it. This by no means is a good movie but it's most definitely not the worst. There is a good movie that could be made around this idea but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be for 'The Space Between Us'.

Final Verdict = 

So have you seen 'The Space Between Us'? If so, what did you think of the film? I hope that this review was useful for if you were planning on seeing the movie or not. Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my review, it is much appreciated!

'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' Review

The T-virus that was unleashed by the evil Umbrella Company has spread all over the world, infecting everything that it touches. Former Umbrella employee and now rogue warrior Alice (Mila Jovovich) continues to do whatever she can to take down the corporation for good. With a handful of survivors to help her, Alice will go into a final battle at the depths of Raccoon City.

'Resident Evil 7: Biohazard' has recently just been released on many gaming platforms. The survival-horror game has been met with good reviews with the likes of IGN and Gamespot giving the game a fair amount of praise. The horror elements have been praised for a tense atmosphere providing a great experience for the player. With a new movie being released simultaneously, you'd hope that the quality of the latest game would transfer into the film. Unfortunately for us film fans, 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' has brought us one of the worst movies of the year. If you are a fan of terribly filmed action or lazy, predictable horror movies, then you will love the latest 'Resident Evil' film. If there has ever been such an atrocity to two film genres at once, it is this film.

'The Final Chapter' starts off with a recap of the previous films, much like 'Underworld: Blood Wars' did earlier this year. This gives you a chance to remember all the terrible moments in the previous films before you get to experience a whole new level of terrible. And you don't have to wait too long as Mila Jovovich bursts onto the screen, allowing the final chapter to begin. The first scene features a giant winged creature screeching ever so loudly as it looks to feast upon Alice. The scene is completely ridiculous as Alice faces off with the monster in the only way she can, with a huge vehicle. The action, as a must with all bad action movies, is jumpy and hard to look at without getting a headache. This only is a taster as it gets worse as the film progresses. In a month where a film like 'John Wick 2' is being released - a film that will show you what is happening - 'Resident Evil' provides a contrast showing exactly what an action movie should not do. The action takes inspiration from the likes of 'Tak3n' where it tries to fit as many cuts as possible into a single moment of action. Due to this, it feels as if you are constantly being blasted by different images as you can't make out what is actually happening in the scene. This, unfortunately, makes the film insufferable as it doesn't let down throughout the whole movie. If you can't see what is going on and the action is a very large part of the film, you cannot expect it to be a pleasant experience. This filmmaking is lazy, unbearable, headache inducing and most importantly, lacking any sort of quality.

I guess that it isn't surprising to see that the laziness from the action was carried on throughout the horror elements of the film too. In horror, there are tropes that make you roll your eyes such as jump scares, fake scares, loud noises for scares and fake deaths. Guess what? This film has each and every single one of them and is all that they use throughout the film. This becomes so predictable as you know all of the film's tricks and can see exactly what is going to happen. There are so many moments when the music starts to slowly disappear and then a few seconds later there is a huge noise in the films attempt to try and scare you. Sometimes there isn't even anything happening, it's a just a noise from far away which makes it even less worthwhile. The first time it happens you hope that's it but the film beats this trope to death and it never gets any more effective. It's incredible to think that Paul W.S. Anderson has been making these kinds of films for two decades and still isn't able to shoot competent horror or action.

And what Anderson shows a lack of quality in directing, he matches in screenwriting, providing a terrible screenplay for this film. The dialogue for one is laughably bad, there are plenty of moments that will have you chuckling and even laughing out loud at how bad they are. As far as the story goes, it is clearly just being made up as the film goes on. The story does whatever is necessary to keep characters showing up or try to swerve the audience especially with its ending. What doesn't help the film is that the film takes itself a bit too serious at times which is completely out of tone compared to the ridiculous events that are going on. It's expectant that a film series like this would be running out of ideas at its sixth film and with Anderson on board, its no surprise that there is a lack of creativity. Thankfully, this is apparently the last film of the series, although the ending of the film does not suggest that entirely.

'The Final Chapter' sends the 'Resident Evil' franchise out with a whimper as this tragic franchise seems to have lived its final life. Hopefully, we won't be seeing this franchise for a while and hopefully without Anderson being linked to the franchise at all. You won't see a more poorly shot or edited film this year, making 'The Final Chapter' one of the worst and most unbearable films of recent times.

Final Verdict =

So have you seen 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter'? If so, what did you think of the film? I hope that this review was useful for if you were planning on seeing this film, I recommend that you stay far away from this one.

'Hidden Figures' Review

Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) were three of the brightest minds at NASA during the Space Race. The three women were vital to the launch of John Glenn into space, which justified the space program and really changed the world. The trio had to put up with segregation and racism as they powered through to help their country do something truly incredible.

When you think of films based around NASA or even space at all, you are inclined to think of the likes of 'Apollo 13' or even something like 'Armageddon'. It's safe to say that the more popular space films are based on disasters within space, providing enough tension and drama to create a stimulating experience. 'Hidden Figures' takes a much different look to the space race, opting to showcase a story that many will not have heard of. 

In a time where many African-Americans were still campaigning for equal rights in the U.S, there were many black men and women who did a lot of the hard work at companies across the country and frankly, didn't get the credit, the pay or the jobs that they deserved. With his latest film, Theodore Melfi looks to show the world who some of the true heroes were in a pivotal moment of history.

Melfi handles the situation on show tremendously well as the film shows the struggle that these women and many other would've faced all over America. The story shows how these hardworking women gave their all and showcased their abilities, yet got next to no recognition for their efforts. The treatment at times is shocking and horrible to watch at times as the discrimination on show doesn't make a particularly pleasant watch. There isn't anything that will make you turn away from the screen, it's just unnecessary pettiness that for me, is hard to think of why people thought like this. This is what makes this a very important film as it showcases what the world used to be like in a time period not too long ago. The human spirit and determination are on show here as these courageous women don't let themselves become lost in the fold. It could've been easy for these women to continue doing the same work with no chance of moving on. Instead, they knuckled down, put in the hard work whilst also campaigning for what they deserved. 'Hidden Figures' is a great credit to many people who went through this situation and overall, is a really uplifting story for all.

Portraying three of NASA's sharpest, most underappreciated minds are Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monae and Octavia Spencer - who earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role. All three could've quite easily become very stereotypical characters, with the first scene where we meet the characters edging dangerously close to doing so. As the film goes on, you grow to like the characters more and more, especially Taraji P. Henson's Katherine G Johnson, the main protagonist of the film. Each of the women is unique with Johnson being more of the quiet hard worker, Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) being the wisest and sort of the leader of the coloured section at NASA and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) being more of a comic relief character, bringing some good humour to the film. The three have tremendous chemistry, bringing that feeling of a true friendship within the workplace very well. Each are very strong characters throughout the film, doing a very good job at bringing these unknown heroes to the big screen.

Kevin Costner provides support to the three lead women in what was a very enjoyable role to see him in. As Al Harrison, the director of the Space Task Group, Costner only has one goal, to get something American made into space. Harrison does not care about who does the work to achieve this, carrying no prejudice against anyone and is key to helping break down barriers in the film. Costner was great throughout the film and very unlucky to miss out on a Best Supporting Actor nomination. 'The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons also provided a good performance, this time as more of an opposition to the women. Parsons character was one of the narrow-minded, brainiest people at NASA who didn't want help from the likes of Johnson. The character was very unlikeable which was necessary for the film as it made the success of Johnson that bit sweeter to watch.

After the debacle last year with #OscarsSoWhite, 'Hidden Figures' is a great response to claims that films with black leads can't be recognised. 'Hidden Figures' is more than deserving of its nominations this year and truly great and well-told story. The film is handled with real class and is a real uplifting story, huge credit must go to director Theodore Melfi and to the wonderful cast.

Final Verdict =

'Rings' Review

Julia (Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz) starts to think that her boyfriend Holt (Alex Roe) is in danger as he doesn't return her messages and another girl skypes her asking where he is. Holt has become a part of a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape that kills the viewer seven days after watching it. Julia joins to save her boyfriend but it is soon realised that there is a film within the film that nobody has ever seen before that will unleash even more terror.

If you make a horror and the film simply is not scary, creepy or tense, you have failed to make a good horror movie. If you make a movie in general and it isn't interesting or entertaining, then you have failed to even make a decent film. With a genre like horror, you at least expect it to be fun if it fails to be scary. With 'Rings', it is very plain and unfortunately boring.

'Rings' brings a new tale of a college syndicate being created around watching the tape from the previous films that ends up killing you after 7 days. That alone is fairly absurd as you question why anybody would sign up but I'll give it its due. We are introduced to Jonny Galecki's character Gabriel, who looks to use the tape to prove the dark side of the afterlife. The story then follows a mystery surrounding the history of the tape and of the girl featured in the tape, Samara. Although the film does look to expand the lore of this horror character, it ultimately leads to the film becoming very, very boring. Our lead characters become sucked into finding what the truth is about Samara and how they can free her troubled soul. Due to this, the film doesn't make Samara seem like that much of a threat as she doesn't really do anything to the main characters as they seem to be looking to help her. The film can't decide what it wants to do as it jumps back and forth between horror and mystery. When it does so, it completely neglects the other, leaving both the horror and mystery to be half-hearted and not executed well at all.

In all honesty, there really isn't anything that memorable within this horror movie. The film doesn't offer anything new or exciting but it also isn't as bad as the likes of 'The Bye Bye Man'. That's perhaps the problem with 'Rings', there simply isn't anything worthwhile in the film. With horror, you usually get something creepy or something that is laughable. 'Rings' doesn't deliver either of these or anything for that matter. The story doesn't help as it is fairly complicated and doesn't really make much sense. The storyline of finding out more about Samara takes up most of the screentime. This doesn't leave much room for their to be many scares and if so, they are predictable jump scares.

To be fair to the cast involved, they do a fairly good job despite the script making them very basic standard characters. The characters are fairly disposable but the performances do enough to keep this from becoming a total disaster. Matilda Lutz does well as the lead in the film and doesn't fall victim to stupid character tropes or to overacting. Jonny Galecki is also fine, providing a believable intellect for the protagonists but not as much of the badass that he is made out to be. Vincent D'Onofrio was a surprise to see in the film as well. D'Onfrio like the others isn't giving much interesting material to work with but he brings a solid performance nonetheless.

It's hard to completely discredit this film for its failures. Unlike many others, the film does seem to try and add to the lore of it villain. Was it executed well? No. But it wasn't just a rehash of what had already been done. You can't accuse 'Rings' of being a lazy horror film, which it so easily could've been. In saying that, though, the fact that nothing really happens is its ultimate downfall, making 'Rings' a film you should probably stay away from.

Final Verdict = 

So have you seen 'Rings'? If so, what did you think of the film? I hope that this review was useful for if you were planning on seeing the film or not. Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my review, it is much appreciated!

'Moonlight' Review

'Moonlight' follows three stages of Chiron' life, from a young kid to high school and then as an adult later on. Chiron has to deal with family problems and issues with his sexuality as he makes his way through a tough, troubled life.

'Moonlight' is one of the leading contenders to do well at this year's Oscars, with nominations for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor to name a few. The film is undeniably very well made with director Barry Jenkins direction combined with cinematographer James Laxton being able to create a beautiful film despite having a much smaller budget compared to most of its competitors. The streets of Miami are perfect for the film as Jenkins uses his experience from living there to get the best possible location for this tale. 

Director Barry Jenkins uses a unique form of a narrative by splitting the film up into three sections, one with Chiron as a young schoolboy, as a teenager in high school and then as a hardened adult. The three sections are split up equally carrying similar themes throughout them. The first and second parts feature Chiron in different stages of school showcase troubles he faces with bullies, as he deals with being harrassed constantly. The second and third both surround Chiron dealing with his sexuality in a neighbourhood that is not so understanding or kind about different sexualities. Meanwhile, the problems Chiron has with his mother and the bond he feels with close friend Kevin are apparent throughout the whole movie. Jenkins handles these social problems very well as she showcases the problems Chiron and many people in today's world may be facing. The film takes a new approach at a coming of age film, bringing a much darker and serious tone at times throughout the film.

One of 'Moonlight's biggest draws is indeed its story that does deal with a lot of issues in a time which is fairly fitting. Due to some of the content, it is hard to watch especially within the second part where Chiron is constantly picked on. The storytelling is clear and concise bringing some powerful moments. However, the film really does ride on the fact that you really get sucked in, attached to or relate to the character. As someone who prefers a more traditional story, I didn't love 'Moonlight'. I believe that this is a great film but it just never connected like it did for many others. There are great moments within the film but there does seem to be quite a bit of filler. This does make the film more realistic but it isn't necessarily the most entertaining or interesting, leaving a lot in between those moments filled with emotion.

Once you see what happens to Chiron in these stages of his life, you do automatically feel for him as some of the conditions he has to live and put up with are appalling. The character is played by three different actors in the film, Alex Hibbert as child Chiron,  Ashton Sanders as teen Chiron and Trevante Rhodes as adult Chiron. The three actors do achieve a genuine continuity throughout the film, carrying similar traits and qualities in each of the parts. In saying that, there isn't really anything that interesting about the character we follow. You feel sorry for him and that's about it, you don't grow to connect to the character as you don't really get to know him. For me, I didn't get that connection to the character that I really wanted. If so, it would have really nailed this film down for me but it just didn't fully deliver in that aspect.

As far as the rest of the performances go, there is a lot to marvel at. Naomie Harris is the standout of the film as the dysfunctional mother of Chiron. Harris is featured in all three stages of the film and fully deserves her Oscar nomination for her performance. Harris' performance is exceptional as you see her deteriorate through each stage, getting heartbreakingly worse and worse as the film goes on. Despite Harris being reluctant to take the role as this character, she shines brightest in the film by far. The fact that all of her scenes were performed in only three days with minimal rehearsals makes this performance even more impressive. Mahershala Ali is a frontrunner for the Best Supporting Actor award, especially after picking up the SAG award in the same category. Ali was enjoyable to watch on screen as he takes care of the young Chiron. However, I wouldn't necessarily agree that he should be up for the illustrious award. Ali is only in the film for a short period of time and although he does well, I wouldn't say there's enough for him to be considered as Best Supporting Actor. The character isn't explored or does enough for Ali to merit this accolade.

'Moonlight' most definitely is a worthwhile watch. It is undoubtedly a very powerful movie that looks to tackle issues that many face today. Amongst that is a clear coming of age film with the main character looking to find his way in life through many different stages. In the end, though, there just wasn't enough to make me love this film. It is incredibly well made, acted and scripted but just lacked that extra something for me.

Final Verdict = 

So have you seen 'Moonlight'? If so, what did you think of the film? I hope that this review was useful for if you were planning on seeing the movie or not. Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my review, it is much appreciated!

'T2: Trainspotting' Review

Twenty years have passed since Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) took off with the drug money, leaving his friends behind. Renton is now back after living in Holland and Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) and worst of all, Begbie (Robert Carlyle) are all still in Edinburgh as Renton looks to start his life again in the Scottish capital.

Danny Boyle and the original cast are back after 20 years to build upon the legacy of 1996's 'Trainspotting'. The original 'Trainspotting' is a huge deal in Scotland with it being a staple in British film over the last 20 years. The film is adored by both adults who seen it when it first came out and youths who seen it after they were born - like me. Whenever a sequel comes along many years after the first, there is huge fear that it will be worthless and a complete cash grab - see last year's 'Zoolander 2' and 'Independence Day: Resurgence'. Thankfully for viewers, Danny Boyle shows filmmakers how to carry on a story decades after the original.

The feeling from the original 'Trainspotting' is kept the same as Boyle brings a very similar shooting style as editor Jon Harris cuts the film much like the first film. The cast plays a huge role in the overall feeling as yet again they are portrayed wonderfully. With it being such a long time between the films, you can easily lose that feeling and it can become sad to see these characters once again. T2 has no problem with that as the characters you love from the original return and only build upon the greatness from the first. We don't see the characters rehash what they did in the first one, it's entirely new stories that are being created and new personal traits that are being developed. Of course, there are the classic traits from Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie to make it seem familiar but it isn;t completely rehashed and is kept fresh. Bremner's character Spud perhaps has the perfect blends as he still has the personality that you fell in love with at first but has enough new about him that allows the character to progress.

Spud actually propels himself into becoming a very key and main character in the film, unlike he did in the first film. The character is made more interesting due to the time gap with him having high and lows as he tries to find himself whilst Renton has gone. Sick Boy realigns himself with old best friend Renton yet again and similar to the first, you are not sure whether you can trust him or not. This becomes a key part of the story as 20 years has past but the relationship has not really. There is that close bond but you can't help but feel that there is something brewing within. The stand out performance yet again comes from Robert Carlyle as Begbie. Begbie is one of the most unlikeable film characters but you can't help but keep watching him as he is so entertaining and captivating. Carlyle captures the characteristics perfectly as the psychotic hardman who you enjoy watching but know is an awful human being. Ewan McGregor also shines as Renton who seemingly has everything returning back home but is still looking to fill that void and fit in once returning. Renton is arguably the least interesting character in the film but excels as the main character as he is the glue within the group, holding everything together.

In essence, the main theme throughout the film is regret. The regret of not sorting your life out, not having that family or job that you hoped for. Each character goes through this and it is something that the audience can really relate to. As the first film is 20 years old now, there will be people all over the world who had hoped to have done things differently. This provides a very strong point for those who have lived their life but not so much for those with life in front of them. However, there is still plenty for those younger to enjoy without getting the full experience as perhaps the likes of their parents would.

As a Scotsman, the film's comedy and humour work perfectly well for me and from the audience's reaction, them too. There are so many things that happen throughout the film that is genuinely realistic which make the film incredibly funny as you know people exactly like those portrayed in the film. The social issues within the film are executed incredibly well but again, this may not have the same effect on those not from the U.K or even Scotland alone. The likes of the loyalist pub scene may seem very odd to those not familiar with Scottish history and how it is considered in the present day. As someone from here, the jokes and scenes that are Scottish-specific could not have been executed any better.

'T2' does what a returning franchise should do. It brings back the characters but makes them fell fresh. It doesn't reuse the same story and shows a clear change in the characters lives. The fact that the film is highly entertaining is a huge factor that many sequels miss out on too. 'T2' is not quite the hit that the first was but is still very enjoyable with tamer themes and incidents throughout the film.

Final Verdict = 

So have you seen 'T2: Trainspotting'? If so, what did you think of the film? I hope that this review was useful for if you were planning on seeing the movie or not. Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my review, it is much appreciated!

'Denial' Review

When university lecturer Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) includes Historian David Irving (Timothy Spall) in her book about Holocaust deniers, he accuses her of defamation and libel sparking a legal court case. It is Lipstadt's job to prove that the holocaust did indeed happen as she assembles a team to make sure that the truth is known.

It's utterly baffling to think that somebody would try and make the allegation that something so awful like the holocaust never happened. That's the stand that protagonist Deborah Lipstadt takes as David Irving makes this absurd point against her works spawning this one-sided courtroom drama. The subject matter allows this drama to work only so far. Spall's Irving becomes an instantly unlikeable villain due to what is at stake and the subject matter brings some very emotional scenes. The trip to Auschwitz and the pleas from those who survived the terrible conditions are enough to make the audience feel for those involved in those awful crimes.

As for the cast, they do very well with what the film allows them to do. Weisz's character does very well, showcasing great emotion and will to keep quiet when she really wants to give Irving a piece of her mind. Weisz is incredibly likeable and finds herself a bit taken back at first but then proceeds to show great courage, passion and determination as the film progresses. Spall is great as Irving, bringing a squirmy, unlikeable character, much like that of his 'Harry Potter' character Peter Pettigrew. Spall is charismatic and brings across a genuine, authentic feeling that this man believed that the holocaust was an agenda completely made up. The two leads are the standouts by far and really carry this drama.

Despite the best efforts of the cast, there simply isn't enough content within this film to last a feature length film. The film starts off fairly well with the first confrontation between Lipstadt and Irving and from there, you expect the film to really kick into gear. The case is put forward but the film proceeds to jump days, months and years ahead as the film moves very slowly to the eventual cases. Yes, this may make this film more realistic due to how something like this can be drawn out. But that isn't necessarily the best thing for a feature length movie as it moves without many things happening or tension being created. Slow burn dramas can be executed very well as long as you feel it building up or that if it is interesting or engaging enough. The film would be much better suited to a shorter format, like a made for TV short film or a Netflix special.

The story doesn't really allow for the courtroom drama to have both sides going back at each other. Due to this, the film loses some of its drama and tension as it doesn't allow both sides to make arguments that make it look as if one side is edging in front of the other. The eventual case is all one sided and we are only given information that has not been showcased, mentioned or even hinted at before during the film. The reveals could've been handled much better to create a more impactful and shocking look at what Irving has done. Instead, it was just mildly effective. There's nothing game-changing in this drama in what felt quite safe considering the subject matter. There could've been a lot more done with this film but instead, there's a lot of meetings, jogging and not enough twists and turns.

A film based on a recent court case with such a serious subject should have been a lot more impactful. There are moments in the film that do make the most out of the subject but there simply isn't enough for this film to be memorable. Although there isn't anything done terribly and the film has some great performances, the film overall fails to deliver the impact that it was looking to do so.

Final Verdict = 

So have you seen 'Denial'? If so, what did you think of the film? I hope that this review was useful for if you were planning on seeing this movie or not. Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my review, it is much appreciated!
