      Audience Member Interesting, the random nakedness makes up for slow story. lol Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member revenge is a dish best served dull... a revenge plot that travels all over the map before finding a place to land, the logic behind the revenge takes forever to be established and by the time it finally gets there you realize that there are no redeamable characters and that everything that happens to the people in this movie deserve everything that comes their way Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member As usual the novel was far superior Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow and kind of boring. It fails to make me care. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring, waste of time... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Jumbled, inexplicable mess of a film. Is just about watching a series of dull-as-dishwater students being mildly nuts for a couple of hours. If there was a message somewhere in this film then graffiti might have been a better media to express it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
