Hansel & Gretel race ... to glory!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2013)

I am not gonna lie,since "Red Riding Hood" I am a fan of the "fairy tales twists" genre and this one is a worthy addition to this list.
Gemma "Hottie" Arterton and Jeremy Renner prove to be a good match and stand up to their reputation.
The plot is well-written although I couldn't help the feeling that the movie was escalating quickly causing minor plot holes and convenient situations on behalf of the 2 main stars.
The action was superb and it won't let you down,but as far as romance goes,the few emotionally charged scenes were well...not so emotionally written.Speaking of emotions the family relationship could have a stronger basis but all of that was caught up in the "race" of the movie that I mentioned right above.
The witch hunting twist was brilliant and as far it concerns me it leaves room for a sequel,even a better one since a strong basis is already built,a sequel that I would gladly watch!
