I'll keep it simple, the curiosity around a Ouija board creates an interesting concept for a movie, however beyond the first 40 minutes the film becomes predictable and disappointing. There are some gaping holes in the storyline and the acting isn't fantastic, especially when the boyfriend drops down hung from bedsheets out of nowhere and the reaction from all present is as if to carry on as if nothing happened. Goes for the snappy 'fright' loud noise moments all too often without delivering on a progressive storyline, could've been a lot better but if you're looking for something along the lines of insidious or the conjuring expect a lot of disappointment

This film is really for those people who actually want to understand the plight of Charles Bronson, if you are expecting a captivating, brilliant movie that will entertain you then I suggest looking elsewhere.

I found it quite hard to stay interested in this movie throughout as while it is a story about Britain's most violent prisoner the movie seems littered with fight scenes every 5 minutes through the entire movie, and fairly unconvincing fight scenes at that.

I suppose the flaw in this review comes from someone who was expecting something entertaining from this movie, whereas in reality we should all know by now that the majority of biographical films are pretty boring for the most part.

Its easy to see why those who lambasted this movie as 'glorifying violence' did so, as this is pretty much the most common theme in the movie, seeing Charles Bronson get into a fight with prison guards or whoever is generally in his vicinity. However if the intention was to portray Bronson as the complete psychopath who gains satisfaction from beating people to a pulp and homoerotic activities then it very much succeeded.

Personally, not the type of movie I take pleasure in watching, but on the whole, acting particularly (fight scenes apart) well made.
