Rotten Tomato Freshness Meter: Critics – 64% Audience – 62% What You Should Know: This film does not feature a lot of gadgets or villains bent on world domination/destruction.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Rating: Critics – 39% Audience – 89% What You Should Know: This film has a lot of killing, wounding, kidnapping, torture and murderous intent.
