I wanted this to work for me more than it did. There are some good ideas here and a couple of moments that really landed, but I never felt properly pulled into the story. It looks good and there’s clearly something interesting underneath it all, but I kept finding myself waiting for it to really take off.

Yeah not the best film. Very drab and dull, Kind of ugly to look at. The characters aren't very interesting either. It might be worth one watch but I wouldn't suggest making it a priority.

It feels sort of like this was originally intended to be a miniseries rather than a feature film. Don’t get me wrong those moments are interesting but come across as disjointed pieces of a larger narrative. It does start to come together as the movie progresses which helped a fair amount. However by the time I reach…

I am sucker for this kind of historical movies, and they usually make me drool - it's not hard to please me in this genre. But this movie... fails... a bit. The bad: the pacing is awful, I must say. The shaky camera still... so weird. And that's the bad part. The good: the acting is generally good (the main guys in the revolt, especially), the portrayal of the Revolt is pretty good and the outfit, this "painting" of that era... all good! The…

the camera work is horrible during the battle sequences the jiggly camera effect is way over done to the point it's almost unwatchable
