Only, Annie isn't quite as she seems. Who's in it? The movie stars Margot Robbie , Simon Pegg , Dexter Fletcher , Mike Myers and Max Irons. Synopsis: My wife and I ended up watching Terminal last night because we found it just as it was coming on and figured the bird in hand would be better than spending an hour trying to find another film we both wanted to see. I didn't know much about the movie, other than recognizing the people who starred in it. After watching it, I think the best way to describe my feelings would be to say I was a bit overwhelmed.

I came across this one earlier in the morning and, thinking it sounded interesting, gave it a try. It turned out to be a decent film. I think the thing I liked most about this movie was just how difficult Lauren's (Collins) position was. It was obvious she wanted to do the right thing but was also co...
