Has anyone seen this low budget sci-fi film starring Lawrence Fishburne?

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2910814/?ref=m_nv_sr_1

I watched it last night for the first time and found it to be pretty underwhelming. The film builds on a mystery at first but then it just loses focus and the final “payoff” at the end I found pretty predictable.

Yeah, it was a huge yawner for me, probably the most boring movie I’ve watched all the way through in quite some time.

I enjoyed the Signal. It wasn't movie of the year or anything, and there were a few issues I had with the plot and characters, but for the most part it wasn't bad. I've seen far worse.

I've seen much worse as well. I was just set up for disappointment because the film started off pretty well. It just ran out of gas half way through.

Yeah the leg gimmick kinda harmed the film more than helped it.
