Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
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.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
