Hi All
I just finished watching the most obscene film I have ever seen. It was so unbelievably loaded with propaganda it was actually making my stomach turn. Which is not an easy task, one expects a certain amount of pro-american stuff in films, but this movie is evil.
The fight scenes are cheap poorly choreographed homages to krav maga style bash 'em ups, the sword fighting can't even be called that and certainly isn't even remotely similar to escrime, the two and three on one scenes are off tempo, glaringly so. The plot is insulting, the plot and dialogue are contrived and formulaic for anyone who read Dov's book you would see exactly what I mean, they follow the formula ohs, oh nos, and oh shits perfectly. Basically two hours of complete crap.
The basic gist: Europeans, lead by a French aristocrat try to aid the south in the civil war, the only European not involved is the Englishman who bows out gracefully, only to be double crossed by the uncouth frog. The movie was actually distasteful to watch, they weren't even trying to hide it, and I am sure that there were some messages in there, with all of the train stuff and the big explosion at the end, hmm... Worse than Battlefield Earth, and that's saying something.
