"I am not sure how anybody else feels about this film, but as much as I love thrillers, especially by this director, the last half an hour of this film simply ran out of gas. Zooey Deschanel and Mark Wahlberg are passable as a couple, but the standout here to me was John Leguizamo. I think he could be great if producers would let him shine and do more dramatic roles."
"I knew what I was getting into after reading the comments and had to see for myself. It started off really interesting and when they started running from the wind I was full blown laughing 🤣"

"Love M Night and his mind. I like the movie a lot but I admit it’s not for everyone. Just love how M Night, the director, thinks outside the box. I recommend but again, do admit it’s not for everyone. Give it a try though. Hope you like it. "
