Cheriel R. @Cheriel27 Apr 9 I'm a huge Christina Ricci fan but this film is extremely bad. See more tm11999 M @tm11999 Mar 20 simple story of errybody chasing the mcguffin that opens the door to pure power. ogg is good, and anytime you can see the big eyed moon faced ricci girl who's been a little hotti forever but still looks great at 46. plus another little hotti, mena suvari who again at 47 still can be an it. the haters have it wrong again, just watch this, it'll be OK. See more Victoria T @RT64712292 Mar 20 I couldn't even make it past the first 15 minutes. The first fight scene is horrible. See more Andrew B @RT30791372 Mar 19 Well they tried in the graphics but storyline is not clicking to my vibe, i honestly think they can do better. See more Read all reviews
