CriticsCritics: 43
AudienceAudience: 5.3

In ancient Egypt, a skilled assassin is hired to stop a ruthless ruler and the sorceress whose visions help fuel his conquests. As the mission takes unexpected turns, the assassin joins forces with unlikely allies and fights to defend threatened desert communities from tyranny.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you want a light, cheesy sword-and-sorcery adventure with frequent fights and an engaging lead; Not for you if you prefer grounded drama, subtle humor, or intricate storytelling.
