This is one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. It looks good, but the acting is absolutely dreadful. It could be considered a comedy because it is so absurdly awful.

This is the most star studded B movie (and I'm being generous by calling it a B movie, it's more like a college film project) I've ever seen. OK, I'm not saying it has A list players but it has names you recognize: Burt Reynolds, JasonThis is the most star studded B movie (and I'm being generous by calling it a B movie, it's more like a college film project) I've ever seen. OK, I'm not saying it has A list players but it has names you recognize: Burt Reynolds, Jason Statham, and John Rhys-Davies. If you enter with low expectations, this film is good for a laugh (thus the 3 points). If, however, you're expecting an engaging action flick then I'm afraid you should look elsewhere.… Expand

Uwe Boll brings another stinker to the big screen. Be sure to catch it opening weekend, because it won't survive to weekend #2. I think it would be less painful to watch with a bottle of scotch and a few buddies to laugh at it with.

This was painfully bad. I wanted to leave but I was with friends, so I couldn't. I should have seen this crap coming, it's made by Uwe Boll, quite possibly the worst director still making movies today.

You actually feel embarassed for the actors. (And yourself for watching) Uwe Boll is the worst thing to ever hit cinema, and he is part of the reason why movies today are horrible. This movie would get points for good action; there wasn't any and this movie gets a zero. There are no redeeming qualities to this movie and you are left worse off after you have seen it. Then again maybe Uwe Boll is being artistic in the fact that he can invoke such feelings of anger and hate over something as trivial as a movie. Tut tut.… Expand

The story is completely incomprehensible and the editing in the first half hour is so slapdash and uneven that there is zero continuity. Ray Liotta should stick to doing video game voices instead of "acting" in movies based on video games. And Burt Reynolds ... there are no words. What a waste of time and money -- for the filmmakers and the moviegoing audience.… Expand

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Seige Tale had to be the most hilarious movie to start the new year off. For that I'll give it a 10.

If you are looking for a Lord of the Rings type film, this is not it, far from it very very far from it. Jason Stratham and Ray Liotta has put a serious hurt on their careers with this movie and really should leave the Matrix stuff to Keanu Reeves, he's better for those type of sequences.… Expand

Then you have conflicting accents, throw in some melo-dramatic acting and a stupid, hard to follow, thoughtless story and screen play, and there you have a pile of steaming...well you know. No wonder Uwe sounds like eww.… Expand
