Reviews
Time - The movie boasts a supercool scaling of the Persian ramparts, some fancy CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON-esque stunts and lots of deadly creatures., Rolling Stone - The retro appeal of the movie is undeniable, recalling THE ARABIAN NIGHTS splendor of 1940's THE THIEF OF BAGDAD., Total Film - [A] Middle Eastern adventure with a dashing hero, a plucky heroine and a supporting cast of familiar faces led by the ever reliable Ben Kingsley., The Hollywood Reporter - A trio of film editors, Michael Kahn, Martin Walsh and Mick Audsley, deserve full marks for the exciting pace of the picture, and they make the most of John Seale's cinematography, which is inventively framed and beautiful to see.
