    Pretty Good

    by georgiau

    It was full of suspence and Paris Hilton gets murdered in it so those are pluses.

    the actual story line was very very very stupid though. Im pretty sure 2 people are not able to kill a whole town and incase them all in wax

    so if ur bored go see it. You might or might not like it, i dunno. i would give it 3/5
