Review of Burke & Hare (2010) by Adam E — 27 Feb 2011
Entertaining enough time waster but only in an above average way. The cast seem to have fun and its fun to see all the cameos by british acters and comedians. The pacing is good and thou it dont drag its a bit of a mixed bag.
the horror elements are gruesome enough and the comedy aint funny enough, its stuck at this half way point. Its been a wee while since landis directed a feature flm its kinda like this was his warm up gig.
Its missing that spark that films like american werewolf and blues brothers had. The acting is fun thou with it been tongue and cheek and in some cases slap stick style homur works. pegg and serkis are great as is hynes while fisher aint given much to do but is fun to watch anyway.
could have been worse just misses been really entertaining thou.
