Ratings and reviews

I should not have watched the trailer. if that's what you want just to get the gist of the movie then save your money and watch the trailer if you can't figure out what happens from there then shame on you.

My husband loved it... but he watches showtime for women and I hate that channel. . Kinda makes me think he's gay. Lol. Any ways it was better than some other movies I've seen.

Nauseating, really. A fluff film about a white privileged family that made it out of Thailand alive, like so many others. Meanwhile, the actual inhabitants of the country are still coping with this disaster in 2016. Ewan should stick to riding his motorcycle. One star for Naomi Watts performance, otherwise skip it or the piano and violins will make you cry where you should not. Zurich Insurance????? Really?????
