I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a long detailed review, I can tell you I don't have time for that. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long time of watching movies. Skills that make me a trustworthy when it comes to reviewing the movies. If you think this movie is just a good fast paced action, has good acting from main character and is enjoyable, if you are ready to suspend your disbelief, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you think this is cinematography masterpiece, jewel of modern film-making and is on par with the greatest movies of all time, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

This my friends, is what happens when people with IQ of a monkey but full chests of gold start to believe that they can be filmmakers.

As every action flick of Timur Bekmambetov, this one is pretentious, big-budget, mindless, one-CGI-effect-over-and-over-again, sorry excuse for a movie.

As of plot, nothing original goes there. Some boring white-collar guy finds out the hard way that he's the son of the member of some ancient old blablabla secret blablabla supernatural, xman-like bullet-throwing society of ladies and gentlemen.

He goes through routine circle of 1. denial 2. eager acceptance 3. understanding of the meaning of life and his role in balancing the chaos of the universe.

Sounds your typical pop-corn blockbuster ain't it? Well, not exactly.

Here you don't root for the hero. He is complete moron. You don't sympathize him. He's better be killed. You don't even understand why it would be good if he survives at the end of the day. He kills tons of innocent people. He is stupid. He is psychotic. He sweets every other second on the screen.

You don't get the plot. Though it is super-simple. You don't give a flying fly about any of the characters. (Yes, even superhot Angelina Jolie).

Effects are good. But they get repetitive. It's all the same over and over again. It's far fetched. It's bad.

This movie does just one thing: Screams that it have big budget. That's it. Nothing more. You don't get anything more out of this trash, shot by people with IQ of a monkey, but chests full of gold.

...You can smash down with your friends in the pub, go on a romantic date with your girlfriend... or shoot the movie.

Obviously, shooting the movie is funniest and most original thing to do as it doesn't happen everyday and if you ask if 100 bucks is enough for it, here's the answer: It is. Just watch this movie.

Unpretentious, cheap, Z-Grade Fantasy movie with cliché plot with twist in the end. Costumes, made by wives and girlfriends of the actors during their spare time and weapons bought on Amazon market (in section of toys for 6-12 y.o. kids). As bad as it sounds, this movie is in fact good. It never sells itself as something superb or high-class. It doesn't take itself seriously and you watch it with smile on your face whole time trough.

Actors can't act, surroundings look cheap, screenplay is uber-simple and still it's pretty easy to enjoy it. (only if you have correct expectations).

For the plus side... fighting scenes are well choreographed in fact.

I wouldn't want to rate this movie. It won't be fair, because as a MOVIE - it deserves nothing, but as a home-video of friends who decided to roleplay and capture it on camera, this thing is really great.

Next time I will have free 100$ in my pocket, I may go shoot the sequel of it.
