I see that a lot of other reviewers panned the movie. It was gritty, not flashy and not too heavy on plot. My daughter and I liked the movie despite all of this. It tried to be a movie that made you pay attention to character development and the conflict each character had to go through. Well, even that was a little light but so what! I had no expectations going into the movie with the exception that I might be scared (okay, a few jump back moments) which I wasn't overall. Give the movie a chance.
