The characters and their interactions aren't interesting, the direction's flat, and the story fails to build or maintain tension or momentum, so the audience's interest is neither captured nor kept.

The sequel follows the same pattern, and both films are filled with excessive plot holes, acting issues, and seem to lack a meaningful storyline. It feels like they are veering towards the wrong direction, al…
