    This is a decent thriller starring Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker. The film is about a group called the Skulls.

With enough action, su...( read more)spense and mystery to make for a entertaining film. Worth a watch.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

In an otherwise boneheaded hour and a half of intrigue and silliness, The Skulls does offer one of the more memorable lines of dialogue in recent movies. full review
