Jester Smiles95 - I loved this movie. This has to be one of my favorite movies that has come out in recent years.
Rob from GuysFilmQuest83 - Brilliantly executed and had very strong performances by Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and Anton Yelchin. If you don’t mind dark comedies with a decent amount of heavily dramatic content in it with a slightly odd aspect to it, you should definitely see this film.

Skooch55 - While the premise is so very hard to get past, it is a movie that I will begrudgingly call decent.
