Reviews & comments
Flicks, Dominic Corry

The Reverant - (Aus 2011) The Hunter, The Beach, All is Lost, The Grey : the beginning sequence was almost out of Platoon it was so graphic. Quite a dark film and strangely haunting but still felt like though all the effort very little was gained. Genre : Adventure, Bear Grills, Beating the odds, Action 4/5 : for the cinematography and writing/directing,...
