Thoughts
I remember enjoying the first two films but I really couldn't remember much else about them, and even a quick look at the trailers to recap didn't help too much. Luckily, you don't really need it for this film - it's a new story with new and returning people, and you might miss some cute references but the rest of it stands alone.
It's a pretty good thriller, I didn't guess the twist which is always a good sign. It's corny though, and Rosamund Pike's accent is not bad but definitely distracting. Plus Dave Franco has got hot, and that helps a lot.
Rating: 3 / 5
