Reviews
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
