"When the heir of the imperial throne becomes the target of assassination by his despised older brother, the young prince's only hope is the protection of his sister, and the reluctant aid of a war-weary Crusader, Jacob (Hayden Christensen), who must overcome his own personal demons and rally the assistance of the legendary Crusader-turned-bandit, Gallain (Nicolas Cage), to return the prince to his rightful place on the throne" -Wikipedia
I was looking forward to this movie because of the multiple cultures present in the film and fact is you don't see a whole lot of movies that are willing to do this in Hollywood. This movie was a great let down destroyed by horrible acting and a botched story as well as direction. Hayden Christensen simply destroyed his role, I can see why so many Star Wars fans dislike him. Nicholas Cage was alright but something in his performance was missing. Oh! I know what it is, it's heart! I felt nothing from his performance and I simply wish he would go back to seriously acting like he in the movie Leaving Las Vegas. It was nice to see Liu Yifei in the movie but I wish the director had used her better. I don't know what the director was thinking by making this film, it have no real value. It was directed by Nick Powell a stuntman who made his directing debut on this film. Maybe its already time for him to go back to doing stunt work. Overall skip the movie at all costs.
0.5/5
