The best way I could explain this movie would be to compare if to playing a game of connect the dots. You have no idea why you are jumping from one point to another or why one thing leads to another, but after connecting all the points you are left with a vague picture loosely resembling something good. I tried giving this movie the benefit of the doubt, but it really was all over the place. The storyline itself was very choppy and seemed to skip around, leaving you with many questions you can barely piece together answers for. Attempts to break up some of the tension with humor just felt extremely awkwardly placed and didn't align with the overall tone. The character relationships were mysterious at best and highly underdeveloped, so moments that should have been very powerful or emotional had very little impact. Many scenes that were supposed to be suspenseful were negated by being way too bright and colorful, rather than dark and suspenseful. Many of the explanatory scenes were glossed over or fuzzy, making it very hard to follow along and leaving you confused. Some characters that were introduced later on have a very different demeanor that you'd expect, such as having a instant comradery with people who you'd only expect from long term relationships. Overall the movie started off somewhat strong, but completely fell apart half way through to the point of almost stopping the movie. I tried giving it every benefit of doubt, but the longer it went out the more disappointed I became. The sad part is that this could have easily been a way better movie by just fixing a few major flaws with editing, development, and progression. Ever going as far as remastering a few scenes to match the visuals to the current tone, as well as removing pointless scenes such as failed attempts at humor or the introduction of a little girl that has no impact or relevance to anything going on other than to make you feel bad if something were to happen. TLDR: If you're expecting a strong 'B movie', set your expectations to a 'C movie' and you may be able to enjoy this lackluster plot that only gets worse over time.

This movie is really bad, I won't even finish it. I'm over halfway in, and it's just too hard to watch. The acting is horrible, the writing is even worse, and the directing is also very subpar, introducing the fact that 2 of the characters were married after a half hour by having them exchange very awkward flirting; it made no sense, made for terrible entertainment. I'd ask for a refund if I could.

The only cosmic sin here is that they charge money for this dumpster fire. This movie was made literally because a rich "producer" wanted to meet Bruce Willis and be in a couple scenes with him. Everything about this movie is terrible, Bruce Willis phoning in his performance is still the strongest acting in the whole movie, but even that can't save it from the terrible plot, script, music, set design, cinematography, prop design, supporting acting... etc etc.... if I could give it 0 stars I would.
