  Adroitly acted by a fairly strong cast, the plot is good and all in all its a reasonable movie, but not a gripping flick and not one you will need to see again... read more »

  An entertaining plot and storyline, supported by good acting, keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the film. Well worth watching.
