Reviews (1)
It seemed just slightly weaker to me than the previous installments, mainly because I really enjoyed the first half, but the second half didn't entertain me as much. The scene with the "cub" getting beaten up is really very powerful and intense. It has exactly the right impact on the viewer that it should have. You simply won’t forget it. ()
