3.0

Unfortunately this one just fell completely flat for me. I thought the writing and dialogue were poor, unbelievable and cheesy. The plot was OK, I did not see the twist at the end coming but there were also loads of loose threads and random characters thrown in seemingly as red herrings. Just a bit 'meh' overall.
