“Film tries to be deep and clever with a u0026quot;plot twistu0026quot; that anyone with eyes sees coming from a mile away. Cliches of course abound, so expect to see all the generic quotes and tropes youu0026#39;ve seen/ heard before. The only twist being that this film blurs the genres of films it steals itu0026#39;s quotes from.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll of this said is it a terrible film? No. Itu0026#39;s ok. Just about. Watchable if youu0026#39;re not really paying attention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, whatever you do, donu0026#39;t question the timelines, e.g. how a young adult can go to jail for 19 years but come out an old man.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, the terrible cliches, inconsistencies in timelines (forcibly injected so the characters fit the proper cliches), and a pretty average script let this film down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e5/10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCF”
