The bad guy that we're supposed to hate is pretty much right and gets zero character development. The mysterious mom that's thrown in as a drama element felt like it was added in post.<br /><br />Nothing is developed we're just supposed to accept that it's deep and meaningful and cool. I didn't even think the girl was that good looking.<br /><br />I give it -.5 stars for teasing me then letting me down.
