Film Review – Last Knights

“Last Knights” is a film that offers an extreme amount of exposition without truly explaining anything at all. It’s a confusing fantasy/adventure from Kazuaki Kiriya, the director of “Casshern,” who embraces the visual potential of gathering armies, tear-strewn sacrifices, and monstrous displays of power, yet doesn’t take the time to invite the audience into this familiar world. “Last Knights” does boast the participation of stars Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman, but it’s doubtful either actor was pulled into the production due to a secure script. The picture plays like a DTV effort, with a plodding pace and unadventurous dramatics between action sequences, better at wasting screentime than exploiting it. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
