I thoroughly enjoy period films like this so when I had the opportunity to watch it, I grabbed it. Checking out the rating here on IMDb first. First impressions by the first 10 minutes left me wondering how bad the film was going to be because the acting seemed to lack soul and real emotion but I kept on and glad I did. Not sure if I became accustomed to the low level of acting but by the end of the film, I actually enjoyed what I'd watched. The costumes were amazing as was the amount of detail that went into the scenery and everything else. A couple things were a tad off-putting such as the unnecessary CGI blood sprays, scene of a high rank squirming on his chair as he spoke very early on, couple clips of music just didn't seem to match the scene at all, the fighting scenes I thought were well put together considering I don't recognise a single name in the cast. So, overall, apart from 1 scene not really making much sense I quite enjoyed this. If the acting could have been more solid I'd be happy to give this more than 6/10.
