Reviews

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
