Writer’s Notion

There might be some questions as this movie starts. Will someone sacrificed themselves for the sake of others, although they probably saved themselves tool? Are the leading roles being mislead by that billionaire who place this in a spot? And there are lots of questions that might come up their minds as they are watching this movie.

If you do not know the exact answer to any of these queries, then you have never seen any movie before and you might like this film by the incident. Otherwise, there is a bit attempt to take these characters into life except in some tediously emotional talks between two casts that you will not care about. There are some great moments here like the aforementioned starting credits. A quiet scene with a not so quiet finale and there are occasional moments of great suspense and action. However, it was all getting suffocated through the length, the predictability, the slack moments, the stupidity, and also the high quotient that no one cares about.
