Review by deanocware

I will say I hesitated quite a bit before watching this movie largely because I have become very tired of all of the Hollywood warrior princess movies out there today. And the last thing I wanted to see was another invincible woman killing all the imbecile "bad men". However after reading some of the more credible reviews on IMDb I decided to give this a chance. And I am very glad I did. This movie is not so much about a woman warrior as it is about a woman leader and her peoples way of life. Yes Tomiris is portrayed as a fierce fighter but that is not what the movie is about instead there are a lot of great male leads in this film who carry a lot of the action. What I enjoyed most about this movie, other than learning about a small piece of history I did not know or I had simply overlooked, was the way the Director and producers made the film without engaging in any gratuitous sex, gratuitous violence, or gratuitous profanity. This is what historical movies used to be about and I really hope we see more. Unfortunately I regret that I do not have any expectations of seeing a movie like this made in the USA by an American studio. So I felt a duty to spread the word. You can find quality "inclusive" films if you look hard enough and take some time to do your homework.
