Finally a chance for Burt Reynolds to prove he is the great actor we all knew he could be!

Just star in a movie next to Ray Liotta and Jason Statham (who were amazing in Revolver), and make it a “knights of old” fantasy thriller, good versus evil sort of deal – NOTHING can go wrong.

Wow. WRONG!

This movie had every cliche of the “knights of the roundtable” genre. Honestly, I was waiting for juggling midgets to appear (almost surprisingly, they did not).

In case you care, here’s the gist of it: evil sorceror (Liotta) creates army out of mud people using magic, makes pact with evil nephew of King; orphan farmer’s kid gets killed and wife gets kidnapped by said army; farm boy (Statham, named “Farmer”, no less) wants to rescue his wife and runs into others in a similar pursuit, including the King’s army. [Breath] King (Reynolds) gets killed, but trusty and loyal advisor lets everyone know that Farmer was long lost son (don’t blame me for spoiling – you saw this coming); evil nephew gets his due; Liotta defeated; mud army goes home. Farmer becomes the new King and the world returns to good.

The hot forest women (think Poison Ivy from Batman times 10) made for an amazing and original plot element!

Not!

This movie was truly awful. Don’t waste your time or money.

And Jason and Ray – I’m very disappointed! Please don’t do this to me again!
