Wounds movie review: Armie Hammer stars in hollow Halloween horror on Netflix

Wounds Director - Babak Anvari Cast - Armie Hammer, Dakota Johnson, Zazie Beetz, Karl Glusman Wounds movie review: Armie Hammer can’t elevate Babak Anvari’s Netflix horror film. Cast like a Luca Guadagnino movie and directed as if by a film school grad tweaking after a lecture on Antonioni, Wounds is a horror picture with highbrow aspirations, executed in decidedly schlocky fashion. Watch the Wounds trailer here Armie Hammer plays a regular Joe who tends the bar at a New Orleans establishment, frequented by what seems like the entire neighbourhood. Not only does Wounds offer a fascinatingly dull depiction of a disintegrating relationship — Dakota Johnson, as Will’s girlfriend, is nearly as useless as the computer screen she perpetually stares at — it is not at all the grave, Heart of Darkness quoting existentialist thriller that it thinks it is.
