Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Holland, Variety
Its visual flair and some good perfs by well-known contempo Spanish actors cannot redeem an over-episodic, over-busy script with little dramatic undertow.

Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
The Arturo Perez-Reverte novels come to vivid life in this beautifully shot, if unevenly paced epic.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
In this adaptation of the popular Spanish novels, there's political intrigue, unrequited love, and epic battle scenes but the sheer quantity of events can't distract from the film's lack of quality moments and depth; U.S. theatrical prospects are iffy
