Review of Seventh Son (2014) by Scott Tobias for The Dissolve — 05 Feb 2015
The film is overstuffed, but it’s swift and unpretentious, barreling through a non-stop series of action setpieces without pausing too long to take a breath. The busyness doesn’t eradicate the clichés, much less enrich the film emotionally or thematically, but there’s no time to think about them when Bodrov and his screenwriters, Charles Leavitt and Steven Knight, are moving along to the next sensation.
It’s transporting in that sense, and that sense alone.
