Many who watched it had no idea it was mainly Russian actors with english voice overs & it'll become clear from get go that it's not the actual actors talking. Dubbing is not good & voices just don't seem to match the characters well at all. Acting as a whole wasn't great-to put it lightly-but some actors were def far superior than others. Same time, I think the weird dubbing accentuates the bad acting & did the actors no favors. Suppose its better than listening to it in Russian; But just feel like they could've done better job with dubbing & some of the production

Overall, it's an ok movie. But had they just cut out some unnecessary scenes & did a better job on others; Plus had some better acting & Dubbed it better. It really could've been an epic movie. Because it does have good plot/storyline. Still theres enough there, to justify a once over. Especially for those who enjoyed movies like a Mortal Instruments; Mortal Engines; City of Ember; Divergent. Far cry from those movies but its def in that same vein as all those with shared similarities with each. Could do a lot better with all the movies available online, but could do worst too. Besides, despite all the movies available, if your like me, you prob already seen majority of the decent ones & often just find self rewatching a certain flick for the 4th or 5th time anyways. Which is why I say, if ya dig some of the movies I mentioned, why not give it shot.

Far as horror & it's sub-genres, most realize that big budget horror films are a rarity & that's ok. Maybe a handful every yr are backed with ample budgets, but most films going back to golden age in Hollywood have been lower budget films. With saying that, there have still been ton of great movies made in genre. But its important to have realistic expectations. If watching a slasher, it's rather silly to expect some epic romanticized screen play acted out let alone get Oscar worthy performances. Idk what some peeps expect sometimes looking at reviews. This had major potential imo yet fell way short. Lighting made it hard to watch & I'm guessing budget really hindered what they could do. Some can do more with less, than others.

But average isn't bad. Bad is bad. It's quite basic. As long as someone isn't expecting and doesn't need great, I think they'll enjoy this movie. Also assuming of course, that enjoy Charlie's Angel/Misson Impossible/James Bond kind of movies. Basic spy/espionage/cop movies. Not saying they are exactly the same in any way or in style. I'm just talking bout the type of movie. Movies are flooding streaming sites, and there's literally hundreds of thousands to chooose between that & cable, but it's amazing how often someone will be searching & searching for something just passable to watch that they haven't seen. At least I feel that way, and many people I talked to have said same thing. It's so hard finding a new interesting movie. And when you finally find out about one, ya watch it, and it's back to drawing board. This is type of movie to watch on weekday night or weekend afternoon just to check it off list. Not that it's required viewing or anything, but mote in the sense that, ya see it once, and you'll prob be satisfied & won't feel need to ever watch it again imo.
