What the critics say

Critics split sharply on this fantasy-thriller: some call it clichéd and predictable with flat music and dated VFX, while others praise a tight screenplay and subtle take on racism, though most agree the final stretch and villain reveal fall flat.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 0 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
