What people are saying
- JPV852β 6/10
Entertaining enough with a good splash of dark humor, but as a whole nothing I'd consider close to being great. This also isn't all that good looking of a movie, not in terms of grittiness but the actual cinematography was bland. That said, this boasts a solid cast and good performances from Sarah Polley and Timothy Olyphant. Desmond Askew was obnoxious. 3.0/5
