This Movie Would Have Been A 9 If Not For...
7 April 2021
What I really loved about this movie is that it seemed, for the most part, plausible and could be a real life scenario.

Other then the horror / gore, the movie was clean, emotional level wasn't exaggerated, camera work was well done. And thank you very much... The 5'6" tall 115lb heroine of the movie DID NOT go toe to toe with a 6'4" tall 260 lb crazed muscle man and whoop his a**. How refreshing is that?

However there were two glaring places where the movie crossed the line from an A movie to a B- at best. No spoilers here but I will give the time and you'll see what I mean: 31 min (these people would never have allowed this) then at 83 min another event that was out of character for the rest of the movie. Those two events trimmed three stars off from what I would have given had the scenes been written differently.

Well worth the watch, I've seen it twice and I'll watch it again somewhere down the line, but... I'll still cringe at 31 & 83 minutes for what degraded this otherwise awesome movie.
