Such a wasted opportunity There is nothing wrong with the story here, but the writing, the pacing, and the directing makes this utterly uninteresting. The acting is not the greatest, but certainly not trash, but they can't carry the story when it is this poorly written. It is just not compelling enough to want to engage with, and you are left not caring at all, in the end. It is technically well made, just very boring.
