Very funny Warrior, a legend on bad films., 15 April 2002
1/10
Author: samerstar from Germany

I saw this film in a sneak preview and i have to say i go to cinema twice a week and when i saw this film i thought they want to joke. What should Stephen Sommers say about this movie, it is one of these films you can see in television when watch at late night. In Television i would watch this film , but i paid for this film as much as i paid for "Braveheart" or "Gladiator", i can`t believe such films get a release for cinema, but if you are bored and you got nothing to do go and risk it but i think you will have a bad conscience if you go with somebody else to watch this movie!
