6.3 out of 10. Not impressive enough to obscure the racist undertones or endless runtime. Insufficient Sigourney. Just looked like a really nice PS2 game.

Surprisingly unterrible. Christian Bale’s growly screentime is mercifully minimal. Sam Worthington’s protagonist has a welcome complexity, and the man happens to be disturbingly hot.

Like Borges in its strengths - playfulness, creative audacity, authoritative voice - and its weaknesses: flimsiness, failure to cohere into something more than several smart pieces.
