Yet another retelling of a classic fairy tale with modern flourishes, this time with Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) as sibling bounty hunters who travel the land dispatching witches with style and flair until they discover that the biggest and baddest witch (Famke Janssen) has been setting a trap for them.
