The film is stilted and lame. Worse, the acting is as grim as the story is primeval.

It embraces every cliche in the epic-movie playbook, relies too heavily on stale dialogue delivered in somber tones and offers little to its actors besides the opportunity to fashion some great-looking Eurasian costumes.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

The filmmakers don't appear to know what's important, let alone how to pace an epic for big drama and maximum thrills.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
Kazakhstan supposedly spent $40 million in making this martial-arts epic. That bought a laughably corny Hollywood B-movie, gorgeous scenery, Hollywood B-actors and extras who plainly weren't members of the Screen Extras Guild.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
It harks back to those sand-and-sandals epics of the 1950s and '60s, with an international cast speaking in awkwardly dubbed English.
