Poor Review

The site Shock Till You Drop seems to be the only one to have a review out yet, and according to them has not withstood the movie violent omklippen.

– A vision that has not reached its full potential. A few enticing chords in an incomplete metal ballad, writes reviewer Ryan Turek.

He gives the film four out of 10 and believes that narrative curve for lead actor Kwanten (including a love story with Summer Glau) does not work while the special effects seem unfinished.

The third act of the film is supposedly the one who suffered most under omklippingen, but not everything is as bad.

– Watch “good” attempt to shine through, especially in the film’s first half, Dinklage’s silly behavior and history of energy.

Unfortunately, the end result, according to Turek most of all frustrating, and he concludes:

– Let’s hope a version cut by the director will emerge.
