Last Knights (2015)
Directed by Kazuaki
Kiriya this film stars Clive Owen, Morgan Freeman, Cliff Curtis and
Aksel Hennie. After the execution of their lord a group of knights
seek revenge against the corrupt minister that cost them everything.
Essentially this is
the legend of the 47 Ronin transplanted to a faux Byzantine style
setting and in most regards it works pretty well. While there is not
much original here and the film is a little long in the set up it is
a serviceable action film with some vague ideas about honour and
duty. For some reason the colour correction is pretty flat or muted
through out which is an odd choice as it subtracts from the visuals
in my opinion.
3/5
