Ridley Scott is a legendary director, the creator of several cult films. However, lately his films are either hit or miss, one would say that he is not in an enviable form. So even though I always look forward to each of his films, I still approach it with a degree of caution.
The film is certainly one of his good films, but it is interesting that although it has good reviews, the film actually failed in the theaters and has no profit. I don't want to talk about it right now, but I can guess why that is, and the logic goes from his description.
The film is brilliantly made, the direction is on point, visually beautiful, the colors as well as the lack of them show the real situation, considering that the time of the action is the Middle Ages. Quite cruel, violent and bloody.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck participated in the writing of the script, and both played roles in this film. Along with Adam Driver and Jodie Comer, they form a great acting quartet on which this entire film rests. The characters are very well written, we can understand their motivation, and the fact that we follow the film from three different stories, that is, from the perspective of the main characters, in the style of Rashomon, goes with this.
The duration of almost two and a half hours is not felt because the film is so well made. Suspenseful almost from the beginning until the end. The fight scenes are made quite realistically, and I can't remember the last time a movie managed to do that.
It's not a movie for everyone because it lasts a little longer than average, I would say that because of the subject matter it's a movie for adults, it's not pleasant to watch, unusual narration that might even bother some. However, there is no doubt that Ridley Scott showed with this film that he still has knowledge and quality.
