Title: Interesting film
Product review: This isn't a film for everyone, and if you're expecting awesome battle scenes and tons of effects you are going to be disappointed. What this film does is portray a little known yet historically important culture in a fairly authentic and entertaining manner. it is ideal for history buffs and fans of Russian movie directors.I watched this with my Kazakh wife, who loved the portrayal of her people, even though the main actors were not Kazakh. After renting it, she insisted that we buy the DVD so that our kids could watch it for some perspective on the culture they come from. What we agree on is that it is beautifully filmed, with good cinematography. There is a bit of the "Russian movie" effect in that it can be slow at times, but by Soviet film making standards, this is the Russian equivalent of "Speed" or "Crank".Personally, I liked "Mongol" better, but the fact that anyone managed to make a watchable film out of Kazakh history is still pretty impressive.
