not bad, but it is almost like it was missing something
I felt the same way. I wanted to love the movie but as you said, something was just missing. I couldn't put my finger on it but it didn't blow me away like I thought it would/should have
Poor boy, expectations always seem to screw your cinema nirvana.
Besides, missing...WHAT?
Shit, even I hypothesized what was missing in my SUDDEN DEATH review.
Folks, even if you're wrong, what's the worst that happens? You're simply wrong. Theorizing is worth a try.
