MIX UP REVIEWS:

Myles (Age 14) - ★★★★

"The film was action- packed. The fight scenes/ choreography was amazing. The film touches mental health, depression and suicidal thoughts. It had some very emotional moments, and lots of messages hidden throughout. I think that this film could definitely help someone that struggles with their mental health/ depression. This movie manages to balance this extremely well with hilarious moments scattered throughout. I went to see this with my mum and dad. And, because my mum hadn’t seen a lot of the projects leading up to it, she didn’t really understand the characters too well. So I think that’s something the movie could work on. Overall, I really loved Thunderbolts*, and give it four stars out of five."
