A taut, compelling examination of warfare that never loses sight of the human cost.
A masterful continuation of Abercrombie's exploration of the First Law universe.

A strong, if imperfect, installment in the MCU.
A visually mesmerizing but narratively flawed experience.
A sharp satire that hits close to home.
