Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
