No one to root for

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2017)

The concept of the villain was excellent and the premise made for great potential, but it really missed the mark. There are some legitimately intense moments, but those are few and far between. There were a lot of inconsistencies with what Stephen Lang's character could do and what the kids got away with at times. I didn't really root for anyone due to the lack of character depth. There aren't any 'good guys' in the film so it had me not really caring who came out on top. And it had the absolutely grossest movie moment of 2016 for me, maybe the 2000's in general. It was completely unnecessary and off-putting. Overall this was a disappointing offering, given what could have been done with the story.
