Ironclad (2011)
Directed by Jonathan English this historic action film stars James Purefoy, Brian Cox and Paul Giamatti. King John has been forced to sign the Magna Carta and now the rebellion of his barons is over he is angry and out for revenge.
It is hard to know where to start with this film, Paul Giamatti does his best and I have no idea what poor Derek Jacobi is doing slumming it here. All the characters are clichés, the script in general is pretty poor and as always why let real events get in the way of telling a bad story? When it comes to the direction it seems that all the action sequences were filmed with a super shaky camera and a bunch of gore in the hope it would cover up for the small budget.
2/5
