destruction with a sweet, reserved composure that grows on you throughout.

- " Jolie's screen presence is so magnetic, and the aesthetics of the
film are so true to the games, that it is almost impossible not to get carried
away by it. " – Sebastian Zavala Kahn

you just have to respect it. " – Chris Stuckmann
