The movie is entertaining, but nothing else.
Way too many clichés, slow, but with some sparks of good action scenes and saved by Denzel Washington's superb acting. Overall, the movie is lame.
So lame i thought it was a Netflix production
This movie has everything to be great: the epic storyline, the hero, the action, the budget.
However, it fails in very basic things. The script is poor and the narrative is slow. It lacks the power of a proper epic movie and to be honest, it's just boring. (Not to mention with a few awful clichés)
It does have some highlights though. Pine does a great job as Robert the Bruce, and although there are a few historical mistakes, the story is quite accurate.
I did enjoy the movie, but i struggled to keep focused on it. A real shame, a promising start and a very mediocre development.
Just that. Apparently Buenos Aires is in the Caribbean and Argentina borders with Cuba. Having lived in Buenos Aires for many years, i find it oitragepus that they simply don't give an F about the setting's culture. The only real images of Buenos Aires are those shown at the beggining. Nothing is as pictured in the show. There are no beaches or waterfalls, it doesn't have a tropical weather (actually winters can be really cold), architecture is completely different, with no shiny pastel colours, and cars look like everywhwre else. Last but not least, argentines don't have the classic latino look, the most common surnames are italian and they are much whiter, as their ancestry is mostly european. Awfully depicted, a real shame how misleading is the impression the show gives of a city i came to love so much.
