What a mixed bag! Holy Moly there was a lot of potential here. First, this is a strong script. It has strong themes and ideas. I addresses deep questions about justice and religion. The costumes and atmosphere are quite good. Some of the characters are captivating.
However, some of the acting is subpar. Some of the scenes work, but some of them do not. The first half of the film is quite slow. But I was the most disappointed with the ending. Everything up until the last 10 minutes felt so well thought out.. like it was leading up to something fresh and intelligent. But no. In the end, this one really didn't have anything new to say.
