Gonzalez Inarritu's sinfully enjoyable epic roars in on a wave of blood, gunshots and dog barks. Full Review |

Recalling Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - but edgier than both - this is a hell of a first film. For all its bonecrunching savagery, it's also a fundamentally moral work. Full Review |

|
A good and extremely ambitious first effort. Full Review |

8/10 |
