Die by the Sword

It was the worst acting I've ever seen. I've seen some bad movies in my day but this one just takes the cake for me.

The Mooney fam..horrible acting and just ugh. 0/0 recommended.

If you are a independent film fan, check it out. A real film worth your attention. Don't worry about the 'Trolls' in the basement leaving negative remarks on every Indie Film. This film is a fantastic find for any true movie fan. Fine acting all around by a well rounded cast. Great filmmaking designed around this original and thought provoking story.

I created an IMDB account solely to leave my thoughts on this travesty. I kept thinking it's got to get better, after reading the other reviews here, but oh boy, was I wrong.

The writing is wooden, dialog forced, emotions fake and way out of scale with the action as it unfolds. It's not even on par with a "B" slasher flick from the 80's.

There are no redeeming factors to this movie, other than noise int eh background as you do other things... :(

Don't waste your time!

If the pile of very similarly worded 10/10 reviews on this site isn't warning enough, I actually booted this movie on Amazon Prime to watch it. Now this period in Britain's history is fascinating - the nub of the King Arthur legend after all, and happening at a time when England wasn't English but Romano-Celtic. The Picts, on the other hand, inhabited Scotland before the Celts invaded (from Ireland) and displaced them in all but the Eastern seaboard.

The breakdown of the Roman Empire led to the withdrawal of Roman forces from Britain, and they were left to fend for themselves. This is covered well in the initial part of this movie. But the Picts, oh my god it's like 300 all over again. There's a reasonable case (given what i said above) to make them "different" to the Romano-Celts. But holy hell, must we dumb down all of written history to provide spectacle (and not even good well acted spectacle, the fighting scenes are really quite weak).

I just couldn't bring myself to finish this farrago of a movie. It would have helped with even passable characters and/or actors we could believe in or who could carry a weak script. But weak script and weal acting is too much for this limited movie to bear.
