Awesome flick~!

Highly recommend it. I don't think it has received a true movie release in the US, but a solid film.

Watched this movie as a Redbox rental; I believe it may have been a straight to video film.
I thought it was OK; I didn't regret watching it, but didn't believe it was memorable in any way. That is, except for the violence, blood & gore, but that's true to life for medieval soldiers hacking at each other with huge swords, or being hit with an arrow, or crossbow bolt. Not pretty!
I would give three out of five stars.

It is good for the genre... There really aren't much offerings for those who dig the medieval knight type stories....

For some reason I couldn't get into it and turned it off after about 20-30 minutes. It bored me even though I like the genre.

You are certainly correct.

It was out for a week at our local hard luck cinema and I thought it had promise. There are only so many scenes you can watch of Paul Giamatti grimacing and stomping around in the mud before it becomes humorous rather than menacing. I thought Kate Mara was a poor choice for her character, and after about 45 minutes I had to refrain from shouting "Just go around the freaking castle!" at the screen.

I saw it this evening. Not too bad, but not great.
