Final Take

This movie wasn’t great. There were some decent practical effect scenes with some over-the-top gore, one memorable scene with a lawyer having to “Go F Himself”, and a lot of exposition and filler. The story doesn’t make sense, the characters aren’t likeable at all, and there’s also a suspicious amount of bible talk that comes across as almost a subliminal message. I have a feeling I’ll be reading this entry 4 years from now trying to remember if we’ve already watched this movie. If you’re reading this, future me, you have, and don’t subject yourself to it again.
