“It’s a Trap”
I could have done with some longer music montages. Just when the rock and roll was getting good they cut it.
Every word that the Commado Elite utters is a phrase from popular culture.Started to give me a headache.
That is one mean motorscooter Kirsten Dunst has. It totally E.T.s it over that ditch.
