  • 5. Moviezine
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Attempting to tie together a clumsy beginning with an equally clumsy end feels only forced, and what with a razor-sharp surface could have become a masterpiece becomes, with its problems in content, no more than a pile of rubble.
    - Daniel S Ogalde
