Comment
In Elizabethan England a mercenary meets the devils reaper and narrowly escapes hell. He renounces violence, until he comes across a young girl who is kidnapped by a powerful sorcerer and her family are killed. He sets out on quest to rescue her and redeem his soul. This is a dark fantasy film that mixes CGI action with Puritan thinking, that ends up as a mixed bag of action and dialogue. James Purefoy is good in the lead role well supported by Rachel Hurd Wood and a typically good performance from the under rated Pete Postlethwaite.
