I am a big fan of Cengiz Koskun and he didn't disappoint. He is outstanding in the film. I would say the makers did put a great effort in the making. All the actors put in great performances. The actor who played Romano was outstanding in the role. Cengiz has once again showed what a star he is. The movie lacked proper pacing and like some other reviewers pointed out, there actually wasn't any proper strategy shown in order to win the war on the part of the army of Arp. Special effects were great and cinematography was fantastic. The digital images creating the historic atmosphere was very cool and gave the feeling of 11th century. I would recommend it to war movie fans.
