So I just watched the movie, and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. Okay. So here goes. This is going to be a HUGE Spoiler warning.
SPOILER!!!
Okay, so the action was great. They incorporated some martial arts like vovinam, and it was pretty cool seeing people getting stabbed. However, my issue was the plot. It is very similar to the movie Troy. Helen is the pretty girl name Huong. Paris is the main character name Lam. Hector is Lam's brother name Hung Dao. Menelaus is like Tai Nhot, and Achilles is like Feng "Dust." It has the exact same structure. Huong loves Lam more than Tai Nhot due to Tai Nhot being older and violent than her (she's like in her early 20s and Tai Nhot is like in his 50s). Tai Nhot orders Feng to find her, etc. Overall, the movie is 40 percent action, but the plot is just average. There's not that room for character development so you really don't care for them that much except for Huong. The audio is kind of weird too. Sometimes the grunting doesn't mix well with the fighting. And to the end, you just wish Lam would win against Tai Nhot. If you want to watch an action movie, this is the movie for you. But if you want to watch good story telling, then this movie won't surprise you.
