    An incredible cast, just the story proposes more questions, and does not answer anything. It’s the only thing, I took away from it is you cannot trust your enemy.

    This is a beautiful film. At times times beautiful looking, it certainly leaves you with a few things to think about. It is a cautionary tale. One born out of time worn experience on the nature of Humankind. A film that, as it turns out, is very, very timely what with the global tyranny, lies, and physical and emotional cruelty that has been unleashed on a largely unsuspecting population. The kind of barbarian that you are will define whether or not you "like" this one or not. By the looks of it, many in the audience have a hard time with this film. Gee, I wonder why? 🤔

    Didn’t make sense and the ending too. WARNING Spoiler Alert: Movie is about Johnny Depp torturing people to get confessions so he can take military action against nomads who aren’t causing trouble. The magistrate falls in love with a tortured women and decides to return her to her people. So he rides for days on end and just happens to find some nomads. He just rode out and didn’t know where he was going for days...really? Then when he finds the nomads, he tells her to return with him...again really? He returns back and is tortured and awaiting trial when apparently he was never charged with anything? Of course Johnny Depp’s troops are massacred but somehow Johnny Depp survives with two other solders in his stagecoach..really? Everybody dies but he survives in his stagecoach? Of course you don’t know what happens at the end because before it looks like the barbarians are going to attack the fort...you just get a black screen and credits....a big time really??? I suffered through this entire slow moving movie to get a black screen and credits...no finality to the ending. Were they going to attack? What happened to Johnny Depp? Thank goodness I didn’t buy it but rented it for a $1....two hours of my life I won’t get back. Watch the trailer...those were the best scenes.

    I almost didn't make it to the end, which is something I've done less than 5 times in my 45 years as a movie watcher. The acting was pretty good (except for Pattinson who showed little depth). The storyline is just boooorrrrinng. It feels like it will never end. This whole movie could be reduced to 60 minutes.

    What was the point of this movie? Incredibly slow throughout with absolutely no resolution. You are left empty. It is such a long drawn out movie to have nothing to take away from it. What a waste of time.

    Awful. Not worth your time or money. Clean your oven or scrub your toilet instead, you will feel more satisfied afterwards than watching this crap and it won’t be a waste of time.

    This is the worst movie I have seen in several years. I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my money.
