Synopsis: Nick Morton is a self-serving soldier of fortune that unwittingly unleashes an ancient evil and gets embroiled into the schemes of monster hunters.
The Good: Honestly not a lot. Russel Crowe was decent as Jekyll/Hyde. I really like Jake Johnson (who was channeling Jack from An American Werewolf in London) and Sofia Boutella was gorgeous as Ahmanet.
The Bad: This movie bored me to tears. Tom Cruise is not a relatable protagonist and I didn't care about him one way or the other.
Final Thoughts: I read the bad reviews but I was hoping the critics were too harsh. I just didn't like this movie, which is a shame because I'd love to see a good full universal monster reboot series.
