i recently purchase this on dvd a i hadn not hear of it and like robert carlyle . obviously this movie be not go to have hollywood blockbuster special effect and in say that though the special effect be decent enough and and the acting be fine also . i find the movie to be enjoyable and do not regret buy it at all and at almost 2 hour long it be just the right length for this type of movie . do not expect thrill explosive action from begin to end though and it be a fairly well balanced movie with a decent enough storyline .
