What people are saying
- tmdb51616167★ 7/10
In my opinion, I found this film to be quite good, though there were moments where it could have delved deeper into the story. Despite this, I believe it achieved what it set out to do and was well-executed. It's perplexing to see the low scores and negative reviews from others, as I feel that the movie does deliver on its promises. While it may not be flawless, it certainly doesn't deserve the harsh criticism it has received. "23 Blast" is a decent film worth checking out. I recommend giving it a chance and watching it for yourself to see that it has its own merits. While it may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, it's a movie that you can sit through and find enjoyment in.
