I cannot tell you how much I regret begging my husband on Saturday to see this film. It looked good from the preview, the ratings were good at 7.6 on IMDB, I couldn't miss. We hadn't seen a movie at the cinema in about a year, this had to be good, maybe a tad silly but still was bound to be overall a good night out watching a decent film.. That was the hope.
From about 30 minutes in, my joy turned to mixed feelings, non caring, confusion, boredom, annoyance (mostly at character Jessie and hoping she gets killed off sooner rather than later) and lastly a ray of hope that this movie would at one point make any sense and worth the watch. Who knew who is fighting who? None of its clear, it's poor acting by most so you can tell you are watching actors in a film rather than engrossed into the story. In the end, I didn't care for any of the characters, the storyline was silly, no background provided, no context, poorly executed and Jessie infuriated me the most.
Maybe the point of the story was for young people to listen to the wiser elders rather their own foolish, impulsive recklessness. Otherwise yourself or other people can get hurt trying to protect you.
I do give full marks to making the action scenes look real at the end. That is where my praise ends. Script, actors, directing all are poor.
At the end, my husband both spoke at the same time that it was the worst film seen or just how bad it was.
The potential was there but massively let down.
Conclusion: if you are desperate to see it - wait until it's included in your paid tv subscription channels.
