Rubbish

Rating: 3/10 (12 August 2011)

Rubbish Disney whitewash. At no point did a single character look Persian. At no point did a single character sound Persian. What were they thinking?! The movie barely makes use of the game mechanic (the sand in the dagger) the film is even based on. Action scenes were okay. Jake G falls in and out of different accents. I got the impression they were aiming for Pirates in turbans, but fell a long way short. Movie goes for too long. Involvement of Hassassins is half-baked. I never got the feeling of brotherhood that was so highly valued in the film. This movie is a real let down as I had high hopes for a middle-eastern based reasonable budget movie with a number of known stars. Oh well, here's hoping a future Prince movie will be better!
