As the credits roll with most of the major plot threads unresolved, the frustration is palpable when one recognizes that there will be no second installment.

Unfortunately, a worthy message doesn’t necessarily equate to a good movie and, in this case, the inequality is evident.

There’s a dissonance between the film’s darker subjects and its seeming desire to offer something uplifting at the end, and the mediocre songs are a distraction.
