“A great Friday night movie – more subversive, knowing & humorous than I expected, with action sequences that pack a punch”
“A fairly straight-forward action/spy movie that doesn’t quite live up to its fun initial premise”
“Unashamedly fun, escapist, crowd-pleasing entertainment, providing all the excitement, laughs & action you could ask for”

“Not only an ‘important film’, but just as crucially, a genuinely entertaining & gripping movie too”
“Playing with countless horror tropes, this movie works brilliantly as a twisted dark comedy”
“With its interesting premise & morally complex characters, this is a prequel that adds something worthwhile to the mythology”
