Thank you Mr. Wirkola!

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2013)

When I first saw the trailer I thought: Wow, this could be fun. And it was... The movie keeps the promises made by the trailer. There's action, cool lines, a killer-cast and (surprise, surprise) strong violence. This is why it works:
1. The cast. 2 strong female leads (Janssen & Arterton) who were totally believable in their roles. Renner as the cutest tough-guy actor Hollywood has to offer at the moment. And Stormare who is always a nice addition to the cast.
2. The story. Straightforward, simple and uncompromising. (I don't need clever plot twists all the time. Sometimes I just wanna be entertained.)This movie reminded me of Deep Rising. It was the same kind of "this-is-our-story-deal-with-it" movie.
3. The Action. I loved that the movie wasn't softened all the way down to PG-13. The action is fierce and absolutely fun to watch.
This is it. I've got nothing to criticize about the movie.
Just one thing: I find it hilarious when people watch the movie and then complain about the distorted portrayal of witches. (One reviewer seemed to be pretty angry about that.) You people amuse me! That's what trailers are for! The trailer made it absolutely clear, what the movie was going to be like. So, if it's not for you... avoid it. But please don't rant about how bad the movie was when it's your own fault you went to see it in the first place!
In other words: You don't like chocolate? Then don't buy the chocolate cake!
