It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
