Director: Daniel Lee
Starring: Jackie Chan, Adrien Brody, John Cusack
Release: September 4th, 2015
This looks cool an’ all, but man is it ridiculous. Jackie Chan I get, and I think he’ll do a fine job. But Adrien Brody as a Roman bad guy who catches sword blades with his hand? And John Cusask as anyone in a suit of armor saying tough things? That’s not believable, and I can’t imagine this film will feel particularly smart. But hey, I doubt that’s the point, we’re just supposed to enjoy the CGI fight scenes and root for the good guys, right? I can do that, and I can maybe, just maybe, do that in the theatre.
