"Kill. Or be killed."
This movie started out really slow, the middle was really slow and the end was predictable and slow, nice to see Gina Davis but if you want a decent movie watch something else....
**Overall Score: 4.6/5, 4.5/5 Stars, 9/10 Stars**
It's rare when you buy a movie unseen an end up enjoying it. I have always been a fan of Jessica Chastain, so when I saw a new movie with her in it, I knew I had to at least give it a shot.
