At first I thought, "maybe it's just slow to start?". If you've watched the trailer and heard the narration, that was the whole ding dang movie. Also, I hope you like blurry flashbacks/flashforwards, cause that's all the "powerful, emotive sequences". The emotions are flat, and attempts to evoke emotion with shaky cam and long dragging scenes of crying. When they attempt to use the power of a mother's love, it's such a turn around that I got whiplash. There is no pay off to any of the set up. The movie ended and I realized I would never get the wasted time back. I hope, dear reader, the only time you wasted was reading this review.
