...Most of the dialogue amounts to unimaginative and unnecessary narration delivered by actors who couldn’t convince you to buy toothpaste, let alone their performances. As for production values, half the film takes place in a bathroom. There are no frills, no flourishes, no showy fountains of blood or heart-pounding chase sequences with the camera trained on the victim’s bouncing bosoms...
...China rapidly becomes the world's workshop, supplying everything from Thomas the Tank Engine toys to computer chips to blood thinners, the world is coming to understand what Chinese citizens have known for quite a while.

The film would have been almost perfect had Alfredson...

By the second week, his favorite superhero, Spider-Man, had been supplanted by a flesh-and-blood mortal who died 70 years ago: Mustafa Kemal, better known as Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey. The boy's shift of allegiance is a universal rite of passage in Turkey, where children are raised on a diet of passionate poems, military derring-do and sanitized history that elevate the national hero into a demigod.
