I went to see this movie with my daughter and it was a great movie. This would be a movie that I would recommend to anyone and I plan to buy it when it comes out on dvd!

It was my husband's turn to pick the movie & I wasn't trilled with his choice. Boy was I wrong...this was an edge of your seat movie, I didn't figure it out until they wanted me to and just plain entertaining. I'll buy the DVD when it comes out too!
