    The movie is just bad.

    You will not learn anything watching this movie, the intro is just bad, the plots are garbage, i don't get it, how can a movie be this bad. Anyway, the only good thing about this movie, is the father, he did his job, but other than that, all the actors fell like bots, they are clueless, i would be too if i was acting in this movie. Don't watch.
