While I’ll not go so far as to disparage this film, it is pretty good, but why does it need to be over 2 hours long?! It is certainly not the riveting dialogue!
I mean, the second “Ator” film told nearly the same story and did it in a tight 90 minutes! 😉

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sword-and-sorcery saga that balances brutish action with mythic grandeur, following a man forged through suffering into an instrument of vengeance. It's simultaneously a revenge thriller and a meditation on strength earned through pain, delivered with Schwarzenegger's impassive intensity and John Milius's operatic direction.
