A young executive is sent to a mysterious SPA in the Swiss Alps, with a mission to bring his company's CEO back to New York.
Although the premise is interesting, the exaggeration in the production and runtime (there's no way that this is a 2h26m story) makes the film way over the top at key moments, and at others too predictable and bland.
This film gets the credits for the risk they took, for creating something like this, but also to be aware that a cast with some familiar faces is not enough for this sometimes pretentious film to be received with open arms by the general public.
There is no strong basis for us to empathize with the protagonist, his past is not explored enough, so we can't see any connection and cheer for him. The reasons that lead the main character to take certain actions sometimes seem vague and random, adding to the fact that there are plot holes so ludacris that nobody bothered to explain, because would look even more weird.
