Core Reviews! · 8/10
I’ve always heard about this one. Various good things. Various bad things. Easy to hate for some. Easy to admire for others. Long story short, this movie was beautifully brutal. It was engaging beyond belief and wonderfully shot, but I wholeheartedly can understand why some people may be appalled. Nearly 20 years later, the effects have mostly held up pretty well which is a bonus! Rating: 4/5 - 85% - Would Recommend
