Likes : This is such an underrated film, i think people have forgotten what it is to have honor judging by & looking all the bad reviews this film has got, which truly shows just how far the human race has fallen. This is one of the best directed film ive seen in a long time that show honor & loyalty perfect, by far this is nothing like Ronin 47 which ive seen one review wrote, this is a complete different concept altogether.
The story concept in this film give you the back ground perfect of the knight order that lives by one code of honor that "every-man is born with honor & can not be taken from him, nor is it something to be give, but respected & not lose" These are words to live by.
This film's directing from Kazuaki Kiriya show this perfect with the character that Clive Owen who's portrayal as a knight with honor is a perfect performance showing a true man of honor & courage against corruption along with Morgan Freeman give a brilliant performance truly bring this film to life. Multi-racial medieval time period that is generically referred to after the "great wars is perfecting told for the film give you an understanding of why the knights are multi-racial, why it was necessary for the cultures to come together in one nation so that peace can be kept.
The fight choreography is amazing & believable, special the battle scene these scene are perfectly done with some stunning visual effects which really dose add to the story being told.
This is a film i high recommend watching as you will be missing out of a great film, if you miss this in-spite of the bad reviews you will be missing out on a great film because this is a very underrated film one of Clive Owen best yet.

Dislikes : I think the back ground story could of bee told be more because it was a little short on details but apart from that this film was good.

Overall : Epic adventure of courage, honor & loyalty, brilliant performances. a must see

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 10 out of 10 for concept.
