I’m rating this one a little higher than I might have otherwise, only because it’s very visually pleasing to watch, and has an unusual flare. It’s an unique re-telling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood children’s storey.
Gary Oldman plays the twisted villian as he always does so well. Most every other actor in this tale is hardly worth noticing other than for perhaps they are attractive. Other than that this movie is not about great acting in the least. And I suppose since it’s meant to be based on a fairly tale, they felt license to use an odd mix of styles, ethnic backgrounds, accents, and props. Making the storey somewhat disjointed to follow since this things stand out in your mind and make you question how this goes together.
I enjoyed it cause it was unique and the scenery was beautiful. Other than that, it’s Gary Oldman, and a few pretty faces that carry this one along. If not for that it would be a 4 or 5 at best.
