Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
