Plays out a bit like an Akira Kurosawa movie with its aesthetics, its non-linear, and as some may initially suspect, unreliable narratives. A historic drama of ethnic conflict and violence, dominated by masculine fights and bloodshed, that eventually flips on its head and becoming progressively feminist, a powerful rebuke on what it means to be "heroic".

观影全程如坐针毡，冗长拖沓、乏味剧情，加上糟糕视觉听觉呈现，既无娱乐价值，更谈不上艺术熏陶。

部分情节的发展较为平淡无奇，但整体上并不影响观影感受。

特效场面令人叹为观止，每一帧画面都如同艺术品般精致。

情节老套是这部影片硬伤，观影不久便能猜中后续走向，如同嚼蜡般缺乏惊喜，难以勾起深入探究欲望。
