"The film makes the wise decision to avoid as much exposition as possible, instead we are thrown headfirst into the world of the film and characters." - Clark Haverford, Nerdist


"Bale and Bana both excel in their roles, but if I'm being honest, I was hoping for a grander scale and some more spectacle. Not having read the novels, I can't speak for how close it is to them, but they've been painted as grand fantasy novels, and I didn't get that sense here." - Josh Manning, NY Daily News


"Bale seems to be having fun as the badass gunslinger. I wouldn't call the film fun, but it well-made and has its fun moments. I'm interested to see where it all goes from here." - Joel Sapperstein, Las Vegas Review-Journal



Rated R for some strong graphic violence, language, thematic material, and sexual content including nudity.
