Action-packed ridiculousness. I bet the director and producer very much wish that the 1982 movie was never made, because it gave people the wrong impression compared to the Robert Howard original character.

Tense and engaging. Portrays a simplistic, absolutist morality typical of war movies. Which is to say that it is much more of a fantasy than the biography it purports to be.

Weak.

The cinematography is impressive, as is Spall’s array of gutturals, but the story holds little interest.

Cheap horror movie driven by illogical choices and lack of communication.

Slightly interesting documentary with neat time-lapse shots.

90 minutes of fatuous superficiality that one woman found funny.

Interesting and competent, but takes a while to get going, and is not for the youngest of viewers. A couple questionable casting choices as well.

Tries to be too clever.

Extraordinarily rote, like reading a recipe. The movie equivalent of a Gallagher performance.
