Summary
Featured reviews
JUST AMAZING. How does this movie exist.
Only certain people can relate
Outstanding movie with a haunting performance and best character development ever seen
this is far from a typical action-riddled predictable super-hero movie - it's a proper psychological thriller/drama, with the single best character development I have ever seen.
Not a spoon feeding of CGI fueled faux drama.
Perfect in every aspect.
