    Variety Derek Elley

    The sheer raggedness of the plotting -- and the pic's cynical disdain toward audiences -- is staggering.

    Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

not for kids

One of those "what were they thinking?" movies.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has extreme violence, sex, and nudity. There's frequent sword fighting, including many off-screen decapitations, machine-gunning, an impaled corpse, a burning at the stake, and unrealistic martial arts. There's not much here for kids.
