This movie has a phenomenal ending but holy cow the majority of this movie is so mid and bland It was like eating unseasoned chicken. The ending really was its only saving grace but it still can’t make up for the boring ass start and middle of it. It’s really a pretty generic and cliche movie besides the end. It would’ve been average at best. I also didn’t think the acting was overly good except the end as well. It’s almost like they pulled all the recourses there and forgot that they needed to make a 2 hour movie. I would say it is worth it to watch just for the climax but I definitely don’t think it would be worth it to rewatch.
