A few thoughts
Caught this on ON DEMAND the other night and man ... wasn't what I expected.
I had heard it was one of the most brutal medieval films ever akin to the anime Berserk or the Conan movies, minus the fantasy elements. What I got was a silly plot, uninspired and nearly bloodless action scenes, and annoying unlikable characters. That said I did like the look of the film and the stuff with the plague was interesting, Rutger Hauer was also pretty good. Not a terrible film by any means but I can't help getting the feeling that this movie could have been much better.
