Review title: Feast for the eyes, but turn off your brain!
Product review: Lush period piece . . . PERIOD. It features cookie-cutter characters, a crazed mish-mash of genres and styles, a painfully meandering plot (if you can call it that), gratuitous violence and over-the-top exhibitions of martial arts. The movie certainly appealed to lots of guys (including my brother) who checked their brains at the door, so I predict it'll make a fortune in DVD sales. That was probably the aim of the French: make a big-budget American-style film, throw in martial arts, add special effects . . . and make a ton of money.
