Terrible

I had so many high expectations for this film going in. I thought that the fact it was attached to Idris Elba meant that surely it would be stellar. Sadly that was certainly not the case...I was constantly waiting for the film to start moving at a pace but it just kept dragging. It's no wonder that it has such limited showtimes at cinemas (my experience). I would advise waiting until this comes out on DVD and pick it up cheaply. Don't waste your hard earned cash to see it...luckily I didn't have to pay!!
