    The pacing and story telling is weird

    It is a chore to sit through and watch. The pacing and story telling is weird. You do get rewarded if you manage to get to the last act but in my opinion, it was not that worth it. Good to watch alone on a rainy weekend afternoon with no one around and no other options to watch.
