I really cannot believe that I saw the same film as some of these ten out of ten reviews.
For people who posted at the same time with the same language about teenage daughters and violence on film, this is a movie where a man has his fingers removed with a pair of pliers. Roughly a third of this movie is a giant torture scene, reminiscent of Game of Thrones where Theon Greyjoy is tortured by Ramsay.
The plot is "evil man wants to steal powers". It's a plot right out of action films from the 80's. There's nothing that's complicated or "makes you think", unless you're talking about half an hour of flashbacks that don't seem to go anywhere and presumably are meant to tie into sequels. It was quite reminiscent of the Lost series in this way, except that pattern only works when you can come back next week and hope for an answer.
People keep talking about VFX on a film that occurs inside two rooms.
I haven't legitimately seen a person get up and leave a cinema since Skyline (2010). Yesterday I saw it again. The only reason I didn't follow was there were multiple potential outcomes that could have this interesting, but none of them happened. This is honestly a terrible film.
