Strange Accent

Rating: 5/10 (14 February 2011)

I was somewhat surprised that Jake Gyllenhaal made a good action here. At least for this film but he had a odd off-putting accent. I have no idea who he thought he was channeling. Gemma Arteton was adequate but just. There really wasn't much of a plot to this film and it basically drifted back and forth between blood and guts and humor. At least what I assume was to pass for humor. Maybe it is just better to stick with some of the old films like The Golden Voyage of Sinbad or The Thief of Bagdad or even The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. For 200,000,000 they don't make them like they used to and for a lot cheaper. But if you are really bored you might find yourself watching this. But why?
