I didn't really want to watch this film, but in the end I'm pleasantly surprised. It suited me much more than the Korean historical blockbusters of last year. The film has unexpectedly good cast, with the great Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and the famed Adrien Brody, who is such an evil and stern leader that you wish him dead from the first second. There is plenty of action and it is very decent, with nice one-on-one fights that are decently choreographed, long, tasteful and quite gritty although blood is scarce. The finale is quite epic, with multiple nations coming together, and anyone who has played the PC game “Stronghold” will experience a pleasant warmth at the heart. For me great satisfaction, fun from beginning to end without any deaf spots. 80%

It's pretty mediocre overall, but there are things in some films that you can enjoy. And in this case, it was the actors whose performance didn't bother me even though some characters were too simple and others too pathetic. It's exactly that blend of history, with just a little bit of action, and excellent actors that clicked with me.
