I hope to find someone that is able to give me a compelling reason to see this Class V movie, that every where else I look both critics and viewers agree that in that is either pure crap and in the best cases below a 5 out 10 (in my time that mean an F).
Despite all, here in Tratk.tv it has an outstanding 72% from 1.2k people out of 8.1k watchers, meaning that at least 15% of the people that watched think is it quite good.
I am open to be convinced and surprised.
Thanks,

This is why I think the movie must be crappy, besides the apparent consensus in the opinion of critics and viewers.
The producers and the studio actions and inactions for a movie that wasn’t produced under contracts with an streaming platform, tell a story. And it starts that they knew (or at least feared) that the movie was going to tank in the US if it was shown on movie theaters, and I think that it was before the even did the test-focus screening. And with the results of test-screening they wost fears were confirmed.
To cut their loses they decided to minimize their investment in promotion and distribution. The movie only had meaningful theatrical releases in UK and Germany where Daniel Radcliffe “still” has unconditional of following from his roles as Harry Potter.
Looking forward, the producers and the studio, in light of the very weak prospects for the US and almost every first tier market, had forecasted that they would probably not even get to recover a significant percentage of the distribution and promotion investment they had to made for a proper theatrical release in any other first tier market, and much less in the US.
The sound decision was clear, they had to stop throwing good money over bad money with the hope to transform the bad money (bad investment) into good one. And they clearly did it, they put their engines all flank speed aft and decided to release the movie in the US, the world largest movie theater market, and in any other first tier markets using Internet platforms (no distribution cost) and without any promotion.
In the rental-video heyday this type of production would have been referred as Class V movie, “a movie that couldn’t make to movie theaters, out of it crappiness, and it could only be released directly to rental outlets within the catalog, a package offering”).
Thanks again to help me decide if I give a chance to this movie.
