Which was worse?

If you had to choose between

1) The ridiculous cinematography - 2-3 camera changes per sword swing and tons of shakey-cam in scenes (some of which obviously should have used a tripod)
2) Nic Cage's horrendous made up pirate accent with complimentary squinty eye
3) Bill Su Jiahang's (Zhao's) wooden acting - clearly only cast off of a headshot, the story revolves around this kid and you don't even see his name listed on IMDB

It's too bad. The core premise of the movie of a knight in the far east was interesting and there was some surprisingly good choreography in the fight scenes, or what the camera operators allowed us to see of them anyway.

On your list I'd go with 2.

But from my thoughts the unrealistic fighting while Jacob is high on drugs(the whole bar fight).

And although entertaining the end fight when the characters are lying on the ground holding hands and having massive wounds--the editing then has them all fine and dandy in the next shot without any story explanation.

Score: 5/10---only because of the fighting scene's not the outcome of them.

I thought I must have missed something because I was buzzed, but nope just nonsensical film making.
