PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

burning_roses I just watched this movie on Netflix. The name and the description definitely caught my attention because I was in the mood for "Knight in Shining Armor" type of movie.This was definitely not that type of movie.The description is, at its best, misleading. The story of the female assassin and the ordinary soldier is all in this man's head. In (this) reality, Adam is a security guard at a museum and unknowingly has a double life as a serial killer due to schizophrenia. Everything that has to deal with the Himalayan Kingdom and Nadia is fake and is imagined by Adam.The beginning seemed long and drawn out, but since the fight scene between the "warrior" and "Nadia" (which is really just Adam and his imagination), I was on the edge of my seat more or less thinking, "wtf?" as all these plot twists were being tossed out at me. It seemed like, "OK, so he is Nadia, I can get that. Oh, now this other kingdom planned it all, I can get that. Wait, so it is all completely imaginary? OK... I think I can get that..." It was just too many plot twists. I can't say that it was a bad thing, because I was still on the edge of my seat for it, but it didn't tickle my fancy.

retepIII This movie was a non-starter period.First the good parts. Gail Kim was quite good, especially in many of her action sequences. The musical score was decent.The many bad parts.1. The title and trailer are misleading to say the least.2. The few parts of the plot that were comprehensible were a rip off of Angel Heart (An excellent movie by the way).3. The film was dark and disturbing - murdering the princess did not contribute to the plot it just was sickening - Perhaps an older member of the royal family (brother) would have served the plot just as well. The rating needs to be restricted.4. The film was badly made, dark, hard to follow scenes. Very little cohesion.5. The acting was bad period (except for Gail Kim).6. The few special effects were really sub-standard.7. There were blatant political overtones about the situation in Tibet - not subtle at all - implication that the occupation of Tibet will lead to the invasion by China of neighbouring countries (e.g. Nepal). For all China's problems in Tibet, this implication is unfair and simply not justified.No wonder it took so only to release, yuk.

JoeB131 That's all I could think of watching this mess.The plot line is that an imaginary Himalayan Country is being overrun by an equally fictional evil empire. The last princess of was hidden in America with Eric Roberts. An evil assassin is sent to America to kill her, but a warrior is sent to protect her.SPOILER ALERT! SKIP TO NEXT REVIEW IF YOU WANT TO FEEL THE PAIN FOR YOURSELF! Oh, wait, no, sorry, this is all the delusion in the head of a minimum wage security guard. You will find yourself profoundly disappointed if you invest anything into this terminator light movie.Let's talk about Pat Morita's Zombie, eh? Pat, famous as Arnold from Happy Days and Mr. Miyagi, died in 2005. That didn't keep him from appearing in this mess. His appearances are obviously some footage being recycled and dubbed over like a Godzilla movie, with edits of the actors spliced in between. Think Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from Outer Space. With less dignity. Then you have Gail Kim. Can't give her the same leeway. Okay, she was playing a hallucination, but the fight choreography was kind of dull. And she can't act. Wooden, hissing voice, mumbles her lines, has absolutely no sensuality for a woman who is kind of attractive. Did I mention the inability to act part? Eric Roberts and the young girl playing his daughter are likable and putting forth an effort, and your sympathies are with them. Which just makes the final resolution of the plot (they were pointlessly killed as part of this IDIOT'S delusion) that much more awful.So if you read this review and rent this abortion anyway, you have no one to blame but yourself!

MickyFin I don't know what the previous viewer was watching, and writing about, but it certainly wasn't anything to do with this poor show of a film.This film to me personally was a complete waste of time, and I wish to have the wasted time back of my life that I wasted watching this poor, poor film.I watched the beginning, thinking, OK, keep open minded, its a storytelling kind of film, and hoped that things would make sense, but to me, and my intellect, which I would say is above average as a film critic, I hoped the story would materialize, but it failed on every possible count. I found myself shaking my head in disbelief almost all the way through this film.The two known actors in the film obviously did not read their scripts fully Im sure, and were possibly under the impression that this film was going to be big, but with poor special effect, and embarrassing CGI, the whole thing was awful.If your into fighting films, forget it, the moves were something you would fine in a home movie. Terrible film, which solely relied on music to help, and the sound track was way off too.
