Average fair for western audiences from what is an apparently fledgling Mongolian movie industry. In many respects this offering is very similar to Italian or North American westerns.
The scenery of Mongolian Steppes and the Gobi Desert presents a very different landscape from most films although the filming was of average quality; the fight scenes a little less so.
For the most part, this film will not appeal to western audiences due to the originating cultural differences. In short, the tyrant wins but learns an important moral lesson. The good guys die.
Several people have complained about cruelty to animals in the reviews. I guess they've never seen a western. I can only say 'grow up' in response.
This film is likely at the current pinnacle of Mongolian film making. Although I have rated this at a very average 6, I am very sure this film establishes a firm foundation for much better fair in the near future.
