2.75
mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

2nd half was better than the first w/ the pace of plot points. I liked how it built with reveals amongst the flashbacks. Characters were pretty annoying and immature
