The reveal rarely ever lives up to the hype but the visual effects were amazing, and I didn't think this was a bland picture. Sure, it doesn't really stray too far from the type of plot you'd find within this genre, but I thought there were some interesting ideas and some good fight scenes. Everytime the Alchemist showed up it was entertaining. Most of the music was good but there was a moment or two where it was wonky.

just for visual effects!

nice one..

The movie is so-so but the cinematography is truely brilliant.

Good cinematography, acting and music. While the plot isn't very unique, the storytelling is solid and well paced. The action is also solid. Overall it's an enjoyable and interesting movie that does some unique things.

Hasn't aged well at all. Not that great of a story. Messy camera work with many close-up shots aren't my cup of tea unless they are done really well. And did my ears deceive me, or did I hear the bad guy make a cheetah growl during the end fight.......?

Bizarre, and quite the looker at times, if somewhat stilted.

Bizarre but interesting. I just love the historical serial killers. There simply ain´t enough stories about them.

Quite a decent plot, and the visuals were just incredible
