wild violent good time if you're so inclined

Rating: 6/10 (11 December 2013)

Siblings Hansel (Jeremy Renner) & Gretel (Gemma Arterton) are sent out into the woods. They get taken by a witch, but are able to kill her. They'd grow up to be famous witch hunters. Many children have gone missing in and around the German town of Augsburg. The mayor brings in Hansel & Gretel to battle the witches and save the kids.
This is super violent, ultra-unrealistic, banging action movie. It's a blood splattering good time if you're so inclined. Renner and Arterton are mostly playing it for serious. This is possibly the major missing piece. It needs comedy to put it over the top. The action is ridiculous already. Just add a comedian to do some ridiculous jokes. Just make sure you don't bring the kids. This is no kids' fable. It's about killing ugly witches in every ugly way.
