Critical reception
In The New York Times, Bosley Crowther thought the film "...a grim little sample of bad writing, bad acting and bad directing all around."[5]
gollark: Those are somewhat different and I don't massively like DLCs.
gollark: My view is that a paid for game shouldn't have any microtransactions.
gollark: Really should have bought an RX 570, in hindsight.
gollark: I have a Ryzen 3 1200 and Nvidia's EXTREMELY POWERFUL GTX 1050.
gollark: 60FPS 1080p forever!
