Director: Daniel Lee Stars: John Cusack, Adrien Brody, Jackie Chan Genres: Action | Adventure | Drama Suspension of belief and historical inaccuracies aside, it was a heartwarming story of loyalty, sacrifice, rising against all odds and true friendship that encompasses all nations and creeds that everyone will understand. It’s a portrayal of what it means to truly be a friend and a man who sticks by his principles. Maybe that’s why this film gets flack, because our standards today have become so dulled that it’s now a sin to be a man and to act like a man. It seems sacrifice, loyalty and protecting the weak and innocent has been shelved aside in this rat race of ours in our modern world and has it praising selfishness, greed and ambition. In it Jackie Chan plays a guard commander on the Silk Road who absolutely refuses to use violence, which pretty much makes him the worst guard ever. John Cusack plays a super-tired looking Roman General on the run leading a Legion who all speak English but have what is supposed to be a stirring Roman “national anthem” which is in Latin. Oh, and even though it’s the year 458 BC, Jackie Chan can still speak English… but more Chingrishy than usual (cringing intensifies). Adrian Brody plays a ridiculously evil Consul and was developed by someone who had absolutely no idea what a Roman Consul was and thought it was hereditary, thereby necessitating he kill his father and blind his little brother so that “he could never take power.” Seriously, dude. You have to get elected every year… and usually have to wait 10 before running again.
