‘Tornado’ Review: John Maclean’s Period Thriller Underwhelms In Spite of Inspired Visuals, & Cast Including Tim Roth, Jack Lowden & More
There’s a scene with a puppet show in “Tornado” where the storyteller narrates the thematic underpinning of his story, explaining his villain’s motivation for his murderous deeds as “the most evil of all reasons: no reason at all.” It’s an interesting idea that sounds cool, yet it has no real connection to this story (the bad guys have reasons aplenty in this one). This is fitting, though, because this movie is full of interesting ideas and images without any meaningful connection to them.
