    I was truly suprised, it was good! - MINOR SPOILER ALERT

    by

    We won tickets to see a free movie and chose this one for our date night. We figured it was free anyway so it if stunk, we wouldn't lose any money on it. Ha, ha. But as it began, it had a decent plot and kept us interested. The casting was pretty good too, even featured "Doc" from the "Back to the Future" movies. There was a lot of nudity and a suprising full frontal so I would not recommend it for children. Although some parents took their kids and didn't seem to mind...

  • Oh No!

    This movie was pitiful!

    by

    I thought this movie was very poorly put together and had no rhyme or reason to the plot! What a phenomenal waste of time and money. Don't waste your time going to see this crap.

  • Oh No!

    porno-leave the kids at home!

    by

    This movie was basically a porno. Yeah the gory stuff was awesome, but the nudity completely out weighted the action. My young daughter likes "scary" movies and she went with us, if I would have known I would have skipped it entirely.

    There really is no storyline here. It ends as if in the middle of the movie. Definitely a waste of money!
