Trying to be an epic movie in the vein of Alexander, Gladiator, and Troy, this film comes across more like 47 Ronin and Elektra.
Outcast is a suitable name for this movie.
The film starts with Anakin and Cage (who has the greatest accent of all time in this) fighting in the Crusades, with Nic looking on at Anakin in disgust as he kills lots of people.
They part company.
A few years later, the writers have stolen a sub plot from Gladiator, and when one son learns that the other will be crowned king, he kills his dad, and then goes after his brother.
Anakin is the Outcast of the film, and he becomes their protector as they travel aimlessly across a few fields.
But Anakin gets injured, and only Nicolas Cage with his snake bracelets can save him. Trouble is, he's blind in one eye and has to keep it shut to make it look like he is actually blind.
Oh method acting.....
First off, the film doesn't know what it wants to be, adventure, fantasy, or drama, and it doesn't get any of them correct. Anakin spends his time looking depressed, and just being how he was in Episode 2, and if you want to see it for Cage, he's in it for about twenty minutes in total, but what a twenty minutes.
His accent is hilarious, if you thought Don Cheadles accent was awful in the Oceans movies, just basque in this English accent, it almost makes the film worth watching.
But, its a poor effort, almost as if the makers and everyone involved just couldn't be bothered, and you'll be less bothered come the end.
