Ratings and reviews

I thought the directing and editing could have been better, the movie seemed choppy in places with the story line and camera work (took a star for that). However, the acting was very good and the overall story was good. It was fascinating to see Perry grow as an actor. I hope to see more from him like this! His rom-coms are delightful but he has shown us that he has more to offer.

Classic over rated, over acted, underperformed film doesn't live up to expectations. Watch only for the release from boredom, and then try to find something else slightly above a sheer a total bomb to be even more entertained than this film.

I just can't take Tyler seriously on this one. I mean, it seemed like he was out of place and it just wasn't for him! I'm all for good action movies, but this one fell short.
