Phanatic did a great review on this movie that's why I decided to give a go at it. Even though for me the rating of stars were low because, how the movie I felt was rushed and not a whole lot of explanation in the movie. It was solely survival and escape type of movie. I watched Mel Gibson's Apocalypto and this was nothing like it. Like Phanatic said in the beginning it's on the surface but it's not what the movie is about. Just because you see someone getting murder the same way doesn't mean it's a knock off. It's a lot different a whole different movie. This is also not a Hollywood film, the way they portray death is sad there is know joy in it even for your enemy. One thing I like in this movie is their emotions that you can clearly see in this film. When their in battle you can see their fear, desperation and panic. And to overcome this shows what a true hero is, it makes you feel like this can easily be me and what will I do, would I have done the same? This is where all my stars go for characters and the actors that played in the film. I just felt something was missing in the story and not fully explained. Oh, yea one thing tons of action but none of that special effects flying through the air type of things. This thing is real battle scenes that trained people can do.
