20 Mortal

(#5) The first dud from director André Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) is an action-filled fantasy superhero tale inspired by Norse mythology. In turn, the Nat Wolff-starring Mortal inspired film critics to write a series of highly negative reviews.

“What surprises Mortal holds largely relate to the oddity of its construction and its tonal whiplash, as a thin, repetitive narrative skips from emo 'Twilight' moping to dour Scandi-noir procedural to dollar-store Marvel ripoff.” —Guy Lodge, Variety
