FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
renskeveldman When you have Tim Roth and Uma Thurman you'd expect a good movie. This was not good. It was bad.
tmiket I cannot for the life of me figure out who will purposely watch this movie. It has a various cast of the likes of Uma Thurman who either intentionally keeps a low profile these days, or her star has fallen in recent years, which could explain her hiring for the role. It also has the recreated Charro from her kuchi kuchi days, in actress Sofia Vergara (I can't stand this woman). Then we have to me a complete unheard of: Tim Roth (maybe i just keep my head in the sand), again Maggie Q (who is she? Really; who is she?) Still, Alice Eve; never heard of her. And of course, according to IMBD there is a whole list of supporting actresses and actors (oops, was that sexist?). So if I just go by this list of who's who (hint, they're nobodys), what is my motivation to spend more than an hour viewing this? I gave it 5 stars, as not to simply give it 1 for no reason. Surely wouldn't give it more since I won't even watch it on purpose. Maybe if I were stuck on a flight over the Atlantic and I had a choice between this and a David Hogg speech. But otherwise, I won't be seeing this one.
Scot_Rutherford Wow considering who is in it and how BAD it is .... speechless.
philfeeley I cannot believe that somebody (or somebodies) allowed the making of this for 13,000,000. They would have been better off to go out into the woods with the money and burn it. There's not a single likable character in the whole film. All of them are what I call "Darwin Award" winners (for service to humanity by removing themselves from it). Unfortunately, none of the main characters gets killed. They just go on with their idiotic behaviour. Is this what the "film" makers are trying to say: That the world is just full of alcoholic, gambling addicted thieves and killers, and we have to get used to it to survive? Even the Catholic Church? In short, neither clever nor funny (okay, one genuinely funny scene with the ring - but highly improbable). And it took 5 (!) production companies to get this mess made. Maybe that's what it was - an elephant designed by a committee that came out an aardvark (with apologies to aardvarks). Too bad there aren't negative ratings here. I expect this to win all sorts of razzies from wherever they give them out.
