State of Shock Audience Reviews

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
