Prioritize:
The film features excellent gore once again, with the exploding head scene being truly worth it. This is a standout feature of the film and will impress even those who otherwise might not care for it or be particularly enthusiastic about it. The psychological battles here aren’t groundbreaking; it all comes down to how the characters express themselves. But still, why not? If you don’t expect much depth from the film, it will entertain you. ()
