Genre: Action, Adventure, War


It is an entertaining watch, the Chinese way :)



You may look forward to:

• Some part of it associates with the History of Silk Route trading of that era. How Romans happen to come along the way of the Chinese is fascinating, so are the beautiful sets. However, rest of it is pure masala flick
• Jackie Chan is the only major role in the entire movie. He doesn't give you a lot of action, but doesnt give you any less either. He plays the role of a warrior who is otherwise a supporter of peace
• John Cusack in the second lead, from the Roman empire. He has a significant role, that he is never been seen before, he does a commendable job at it
• Some bad men are just as sexy as Adrien Brody, there is something attractive about this man, even in his crude best
• The only female worth checking out for being Lin Peng, she performs some nice martial arts, besides looking her best to allure :)
• Jozef Waite is worth a mention, he is super cute and super mature in the film

What you can sleep over:

Apart from the actors mentioned above, the casting crew is huge, but rest of them do not have much to perform

The dampeners you should be aware of:

The story, in reference to the history of Silk Route is very briefly picked up, just a portion of it, the part shown is less politicized and hence less complicated, in turn leaves the movie with a dragging story line. Even the moments of war were not any precise and doesn't have any lasting impact




My Rating: 3/5
