Featured review
Dull, confusing, sadly boring western.
I watched this via an Odeon Screen Unseen and hadn't been able to decipher the clues. As such I went into it blind, with no foreknowledge of what the film was, or anything about the film it turned out to be. I need to get one thing out of the way...I got my ticket at no cost thanks to my #mylimitless account, but if I'd paid for my ticket I would have walked out early and asked for a refund.
It's not that it's a badly made film. Far from it actually. It's well made, the locations are great and it seems (linguistically at least) fairly historically accurate.....that's all the best bits I can think of.
It's dull...I mean almost made me want to walk out dull. Colin Morgan has a small part in it, and for a film that has Merlin in it it has no cinematic magic. Aside from being dull it confused the hell out of me, and not in a good Donnie Darko way. The story was put together with two timelines, one the present and the other (either) the past or the future. I'm still not sure which way round it was. Honestly it felt like someone had dropped the script, put various bits in the wrong places, and then just decided to keep it like that.
Somebody gave Viggo Mortensen a budget to make a western passion project, which he did....but then he forgot to put almost anything in it that makes a Western of any kind watchable. I know there is an audience for this out there somewhere, but it's not me...in the slightest. There's a short scene right at the beginning of a Knight on horseback that's maybe 30 seconds maximum, and I swear I thought I was going mad. It was (kind of) explained later, but it was just a really bizarre addition.
Overall? I did not enjoy this and came the closest I think I've come in a long time to walking out of the cinema....you might like it. I don't know, but it's getting a 2.5/5 off me, and I simply can't recommend it.
