MY REVIEW

I had never heard of this movie until just a few weeks ago.  I watched the trailer first and really didn't think I would enjoy this movie but I gave it a chance and when I received the Blu-ray Combo Pack to review I watched it with low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I very much enjoyed this movie. I thought I would be confused because of the switching from different stories but it really wasn't confusing at all.  The acting is great and sound and visual is fantastic as well. 

This movie is one I will be watching again in the future. 

I give this 4 out of 5.
