Ghoul Gruel’s review published on Letterboxd:
“Couple of croutons in there for ya.”
What an opening. Scotland said “Watch us make a proper movie.” Slick and gritty with a score that says energy and action, and mostly practical effects. Very Crow/Sandman but keep it UK municipal.
The script is heavy handed and mechanical. Show and tell. Every line is either tick-box plot movement, a dry joke or exchange, or pure character archetype. There’s no space in it. It’s rushed and the way characters act are inconsistent from scene to scene to fit it.
When MacReady snaps it’s so fucking ridiculous but looks so good. Nothing matters anymore. Go off.
Darvos is every part the actoor here. Big name community theatre like he had his own dressing room. Just has to stand around and talk in his black tee and trench.
Why are these two kissing?
