El último giro de la trama es medio falopa pero está buena la historia.

jeez this was a long one.
the acting and then set design both were mid at best the sound track was decent and probably one of my fave aspects (but still very mediocre) of it but again we nothing special but not bad. the actual story concept is cool just fell flat but harder than fell it like broke the floor it was so bad
oh my gosh this was one of the slowest and painfully hard things to sit through. the pacing was horrible and the characters names just blended into one and it was very difficult to follow. i would be watching a scene about someone and then it would with to i don’t even know who and i would sit clueless until the name was said. another thing is this film was mixed and produced horribly. the music was always so much louder then the people’s voices and the one i watched didn’t have subtitles so some scenes i was just left guessing. there was some character development but never enough to grow an attachment to anyone. all in all this was one of the overall worst films i had ever seen and i would definitely not recommend to anyone else.
