A solid slice of mindless action spectacle...

To conclude, the movie directed by Yimou Zhang is an action-packed movie with the element of fantasy, thriller and adventure.

Matt Damon with an unplaceable accent and a ponytail has a predictable character arc in this effects driven movie.

Een aardige actiefilm die fijn wegkijkt, waarbij diepgang misschien ontbreekt. Read more

Op gebied van verhaallijn is het misschien allemaal een beetje bij de haren getrokken maar toch aangenaam vertier. Read more

Visueel overdonderend, maar gaat kopje onder door een wankelend scenario dat vol zit met plotgaten. Read more
