An rather different take on the crime horror genre let down by excessive, gratuitous, violence.

Project Wold Hunting has a lot going for it in terms of a rather unusual take on the horror genre mixed with a crime drama. Its well acted, well paced but its also excessively violent.

I had a hard time watching this one, without feeling at times, somewhat queasy. This could have worked far better had they had dialled back the bloody, gruesome violence and death.

To my mind its brutality does this film no favours and will, I suspect, turn off a lot of viewers, who might have otherwise found this an enjoyable, action filled romp.

In summary, if you have the stomach for it, this is an entertaining film but its goriness is overdone and starts feeling oppressive, even to those of us, with a hardened constitution.
