A Million Miles Away Movie was so good.
Pros: I liked Michael Peña as the lead of this movie. It was good sitting and watching this story that was straight to the point. I adore Rosa Salazar as José M. Hernández’s Wife. The way it was shot and how it was filmed do look fantastic and afterward I ended up enjoying this movie.
I BINGED WATCH this film in just one day.
Cons: My only problem with this movie was a bit slow burn it was.
