I’ve never heard of this film so I really appreciate you sharing the quotes and the trailer as well. It looks pretty cool and I’d love to watch it!
I haven’t seen this movie. It does look like an action packed thriller! Matthew McConaughey as the main antagonist in the movie would be interesting to see.

I’m not familiar with the film at all and I’m not a fan of scary movies. However, while this won’t be on my list, I bet their fans would enjoy seeing it again and again.
