A good movie

Honestly, I have never really heard of this movie but since there was a pretty cool cast, I thought I should give it a try. It seems like ages ago but, before he got involved in all this garbage, back in the 80’s, Rutger Hauer was actually one of the most fascinating actors at work and he as involved in a couple of pretty good flicks and this movie was definitely one of them. Basically, it is a decent medieval tale directed by Richard Donner who made before ‘Superman’ and will get involved later on in the ‘Lethal Weapon’ franchise. Like I said, the story is pretty decent without being really mind-blowing. Considering the cast, even the always bland Matthew Broderick was all right in this. Furthermore, Hauer delivers one of his typical electrifying performances and you have also a very young Michelle Pfeiffer who just broke through a couple years before with ‘Scarface’ and even though an also very young Broderick seemed to be the main character, he was completely upstaged by the two other actors who had some great chemistry. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, it remains an entertaining and enjoyable medieval flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
