Last Knights (2015) review

Now I know I haven't done a movie review for a New film recently but I managed to get to see the new Clive Owen/Morgan Freeman film last knights. Now this film is not in the UK for a few weeks and when it does come I would advise you to stay as far away from it as you can.

Now the premise of this film is that in this fantasty medieval land there are masters of the land and they have top commanders who are incredibly loyal to their masters. When Owens master is branded a traitor he must go out to seek revenge for his master.

Now Clive Owen has never been an actor that had impressed me much in his career and this film is pretty much the same deal. You don't care to root for the guy because you know nothing about him and for most of the film he is actually a douche to everybody around him. His character was completely uninteresting and really did not help this film one bit.

Now Morgan Freeman was plastered in all the trailers and posters for this film and it was a complete bait and switch as he is in about 30 minutes of the whole film. He was probably the best part of the film as his character seemed to be the moral high ground of the film but like all the characters in the film you aren't given enough details to care about him. Everybody else in this film is not worth anything whether it be the villains or the heroes they are not given any detail and are not featured in any way for you as the audience to care about them.

Now the story could have been one of those simple action stories that allow for a simple film which this should have been, but this film tried to overcomplicate everything in the film to turn it into a drama with a little bit of action. With a little bit of a tweak and a big chunk of the film taken out this film could have been good but they didn't and thus this film sucks.

The script was bad, yes this is a dark film but there is absolutely no humour at all and barely any of the dramatic tension hits with you because of how bad the character development is.

This film was billed as an action adventure film but it truly isn't it is a drama with a bit of action. Now the action scenes are pretty well done and I enjoyed all two of them but the pacing of this film is terrible and almost sent me to sleep.

Overall this film is terrible and other would advise you stay far away from it.
