Capsule review
Those who have clamored for an edgy, modern take
on Hansel and Gretel finally have a movie at the end
of their bread-crumb trail. Jeremy Renner and Gemma
Arterton play those feisty kids, all grown up and now
bounty hunters who will push witches into ovens for
money — while dressed in black leather and wielding
high-tech weapons, of course. Rated R. 88 minutes.
Screens in 3-D and 2-D.
