Summary: Clayface is given the hero treatment
So this film isn’t bad it’s solid, but it suffers from the same problem as a lot of these villain centric superhero films, they take a villain and make them into an anti hero in order to make them the protagonist.
Yes yes, he kills his love interest’s boyfriend but before that he’s taking down gangsters so you see the point.
At times in the film the body horror is quite visceral this is good if you like that sort of thing but if you struggle with gore then maybe give the film a miss.
There is a feel throughout the film that this takes place in a different universe to Batman, it is not just that his absence is felt but almost like it is not even a DC film.
Overall a mid tier anti hero film.
3/5
