Reviews

Dasha K

Awful movie, the acting is amateur, and the story is atrocious. Really poorly written and the tone was all over the place. Also, there is no diversity at all in this movie, as all the headliners in the film are black. This is important to note in 2025. I thought Hollywood required diversity in movie...
