Immortals: Review

 Steven Kellow    TV & Film

Action films sometimes have to make the distinction between going for an all-out assault on the audience’s sense of excitement or weaving a good story around some exciting set-pieces.  Sadly, 2011 film Immortals chose another path – one that had no real ‘wow’ factor or a good story to write home about.
