There were not that many options to watch on streaming services during the past few days as they were mostly ongoing series or movie that I was not that interested in. When I found this one on Prime Video which I was not exactly sure when it was released, I thought the premise sound intriguing. Anyway I actually tried to watch on Friday night but somehow was too sleepy and only continued & finished it last night. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.
Brief Story Line
