After Hongi's clan is slaughtered, he commits to vengeance. With the help of a cursed warrior, the boy sets up to become a warrior and a true man.
Not the worst film ever but clearly not the best. It was really interesting because it features a culture that I have never heard about. The Maori are an ancient people that reside in what is now known as New Zealand. I think the acting was there on the basis of the cursed warrior as his actor appeared to know what he was doing. I think the main villains and the star of the film were a bit lacking. The lighting was horrible, I understand that the director was probably going for natural lighting but it was really hard to see what was going on at times. Overall the movie is a not impressive enough to be anything better than alright. It's easy to say that this film is horrible because of the way the character act but that could be that you have never seen this culture and you find their actions repugnant. You have to take a step back and analyze not only this movie as a whole but also yourself.
2/5
