By the time the film gets around to showing what a character has felt, they have already told the audience twice - and most likely another character has explained as well, just in case anyone missed the memo. March 5, 2020 | Full Review…

Ting's conceptually solid film is briskly paced, and its heart is in the right place. With a more fine-tuned screenplay, it could have been better than a serviceable movie. March 4, 2020 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
