Search: Starring Rachel Hurd-Wood

So flagrantly derivative are its set-pieces that it is a struggle to find anything original in the film at all.

To pull this off requires a strong script and intelligent direction, and, surprisingly, this film mostly succeeds, despite occasional moments of ham-fistedness.

After an opening that fans of the genre will recognise from time honoured tradition, it takes an abrupt turn to the left and...after that, nothing is the same.

Little 'uns will love this cinema treat - and parents, too.

There are some superb bits of camerawork used to communicate Grenouille's experience of the world of scents, though unfortunately, having begun to express itself this way, the film doesn't have quite enough to go round.

Solomon Kane has a respect for its source material and a willingness to balance its money shots with proper story-telling that transcend its genre limitations.

One feels one is exploring a potentially interesting scenario in the company of the wrong group of people.
