I was hooked in almost immediately. Then ever so slowly I found it harder and harder to stay engaged and yet I was still invested enough that I started briefly fast forwarding through the drawn out or pointless scenes. I did love the choice in some Nirvana songs. The idea of what these levels were in a Tower. The fight scene outside the church between the 2 statues while the 2 brothers were stuck in there. (Why did 1 fight to kill them vs. Another fighting for them). Ultimately I mentally checked out too much. The main actors had so much of the same dialogue (Mark & Remi?, Romie? Idk, some name like that) Ideas were too murky or unnecessary altogether. It could be the German to English crossover but there's plenty of foreign movies I've loved. Maybe they were trying to lean on actors that just didn't fit the bill to carry enough of it. Judge for yourself but get ready for a sllllooooowwww burn.
