| Issue | Details | |-------|---------| | | The first half can feel overly methodical, especially for viewers expecting nonstop action. Some scenes linger on exposition, slowing the momentum before the film truly ramps up. | | Supporting Characters | While the twins dominate the screen, other characters (e.g., Frances (Emily Browning) and the “mad dog” Frank (David Thewlis)) sometimes lack depth, making it harder to emotionally invest in their arcs. | | Historical Accuracy | The film takes liberties with certain events for dramatic effect—some timelines are compressed, and a few characters are amalgamations rather than true-to-life figures. Purists may spot these discrepancies. | | Violence | The graphic nature of the violence—especially the infamous “torture scene”—can be off‑putting for viewers sensitive to gore. It serves a narrative purpose but may feel excessive for some. |
