The riffs... are a constant and frenzied assault: za-za-za-za za-za-za-za za-za-za-za without compromises. The style isn't that innovative for an album from 1989, which unfortunately didn't lead to commercial success for the band.

Read this candid review and decide if Zack Snyder's Watchmen lives up to the legendary graphic novel.
The strength of Low lies in their ability to burn, within an hour and a half, like a flame that dances sometimes gracefully, sometimes violently, only to rise again the next evening from the ashes.

Good cinema is good even without politics. Remember that, dear Jordan Peele. The ever-increasing nagging doubt arises that the two strands are irreconcilable, and they undergo a cold fusion that serves only as a pretext to unleash the slaughter.

Ultimately, the film earns a modest score of 6/10 for its strong filmmaking despite its thematic shortcomings.
