Reviews

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
