A gyávaság tollai

Without any turn, without deep character, without unbelievable development. Four feathers, despite diligent slow-downs or excessively desired grandeur, succumb to unbearable boredom with their exhausted story and inconspicuous fight scenes. The salvation, meaning the weary second star, is the charismatic Wes Bentley, but everything else, despite apparent acting quality, is on the level of the most predictable dime-a-dozen novel. 30%.

I can see quite a solid shower here, is this another case of herd mentalilty, so common here on FilmBooster? I hadn't read the reviews here beforehand (which in my experience is often not a bad thing), so I was able to enjoy this film quite unprejudiced. And what did I get? An easily digestible, slightly above average adventure story, with a solid production design, one nicely handled battle (I could feel the dust under my fingernails), and a charismatic Djimon Hounsoune (my favorite). Perhaps only the overly melodramatic last fifteen minutes weren't quite right for my taste. (2006.01.04)

A huge disastrous flop where absolutely nothing works. Watching this travesty can truly be at your own risk, because you have never seen such badly filmed action scenes, an inappropriate casting, and a story that is completely pointless. (2004.11.22)
