Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The film is stilted and lame. Worse, the acting is as grim as the story is primeval.

rotten:
It embraces every cliche in the epic-movie playbook, relies too heavily on stale dialogue delivered in somber tones and offers little to its actors besides the opportunity to fashion some great-looking Eurasian costumes.

rotten:
The filmmakers don't appear to know what's important, let alone how to pace an epic for big drama and maximum thrills.

rotten:
Kazakhstan supposedly spent $40 million in making this martial-arts epic. That bought a laughably corny Hollywood B-movie, gorgeous scenery, Hollywood B-actors and extras who plainly weren't members of the Screen Extras Guild.

rotten:
It harks back to those sand-and-sandals epics of the 1950s and '60s, with an international cast speaking in awkwardly dubbed English.
