Actors: Jake
Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina
Rating: 7 out of 10, A
Disney swashbuckler so we’re not curing cancer or anything here but it still provides
an entertaining romp through ancient Iran with English accented (even the
Americans) heroes and villains. I’m told
this is an adaption of a popular video game (completely out of my sphere on that)
and you could see the efforts to connect the lead character’s antics with video
game level gymnastics. All that being
said Gyllenhaal is a fascinating lead here, he’s really good as an action hero
and I saw Dallas Buyer’s Club a few weeks ago.
To say the transition is startling would be a vast understatement. There’s very little chemistry with Arterton
but there’s a very accomplished stable of supporting actors to help carry a
long movie. It’s Disney, not deep, but
action packed, silly, and enjoyable.
MVP: Jake Gyllenhaal
