It isn't an awful movie, but neither is it a good one. It's about as far fetched as they come. I can understand the chef going bonkers and wanting to end it all, but why did the staff go along with it? That is the most unrealistic aspect of this movie, and I just couldn't get past it. Started interesting, if not frustrating, and then went downhill quickly after that gal chef stabbed the main one with the scissors. At least I watched it free.

I watched this yesterday and enjoyed it, more so at the end, when that business card is dropped from the car. It never occurred to me while watching that the cashier was contemplating suicide and helping another person would ultimately save her life. As the credits rolled, I was smiling. That being said, the supporting cast was horrible. Not because it was "white against minority" as so many others are complaining about. It was because the supporting cast were terrible, and that had nothing to do with their race. When everyone surrounded the cashier in her locked box, with the cops' guns raised and aimed at her, it was beyond ridiculous. And that was due to the script, not something that would or should happen in real life. She was at her place of business and working, and yet everyone acted as if she had a bomb instead of a "borrowed" phone. No one is allowed to take a machine gun into a place of business, and that man would have been arrested, not just the cashier. Ignoring everything else, that was the dumbest part of this movie, but if that can be ignored, the movie itself was worth watching. So just watch it for the two main female (who cares what race they are, since I didn't even notice) characters because the rest is just there to be irritating.

I didn't know what to expect but usually enjoy Adam Driver's performances, and he didn't disappoint. I liked the growing relationship between his character and the girl. They take turns saving the other, which got me in the feels a few times. One of my favorite scenes was when he fell out of the tree and knocked his shoulder out of its socket as a bunch of raptor looking dinosaurs closed in. He had the girl, Koa, stand on his arm to try to snap it back into place. I actually gasped as it finally happened right as he needed to lift his gun and start shooting the dinosaurs. Such a cool effect. Considering this movie was basically carried by these two opposing actors, it was remarkable, and you believe they actually cared about each other as they blasted back into space.

I cried and emoted throughout this gripping story, but I'll most likely never watch it again. I liked just about everything in this movie, except for the ending. The closest I ever came to watching Cyrano de Bergerac was Roxanne with Steve Martin, so I had no idea he dies at the end. It was most unwelcome and very sad. I have newfound respect for Peter Dinklage and have always enjoyed everything I've seen or heard him in. This story was so very bittersweet, him loving her so much and getting in over his head helping his friend win her love. How could she not see that he loved her all along? There were times I couldn't stand her.

I liked the first Candyman, but this remake is so ridiculously racist against white people that it's sickening. I'm beyond tired of these movies that depict white guys as the bad guy, even when the movie bad guy is black, but only because white people tortured him. It's no wonder this movie didn't do well.

Why did they even make this movie? All that struggle to have such a depressing and sickening ending? How can anyone say this is a good story? I'm surprised Chloe accepted this role. I kept hoping it would pull out a good ending, but nope, very depressing and disappointing end to an already tragic story.

Probably the best episode to date. I laughed, I cried...Wonderful show!

It was off to a promising start, but now it seems they are going to make Ruby, who had a full life with a man and children/grandchildren, a lesbian. Sorry, but no.

I'm liking it so far, but am finding it more than a bit unbelievable that she would have gone to jail for it. Fired from her teaching job, yes, but jail? He was 17 when the affair started and 18 when they were caught. That makes him an adult, but they tried to pin kidnapping on her when they left together? Kidnapping a consensual adult male? Seriously? He's not 13 or even 15. He was practically an adult when the whole thing started, so they can't even pin statuatory rape on her. That whole subplot is more than a bit ridiculous, and calling him a survivor? Of what? Losing his hot older girlfriend? They're treating this story like he was a virginal young girl taken advantage of by her controlling male teacher. That's not what is going on at all. I rate it 3 stars because I like the overall story. i just hope she makes it through all this OK.
