Not a bad movie. The girl is pretty. The fellows are brave. The subject matter is interesting. It's disappointing they didn't make a really great movie, like "Lawrence of Arabia". CONTAINS SPOILERS! The ending is predictable but the beginning makes it watchable. I was pleased it didn't turn into a mindless James Bond moment. I was delighted the Princess goes for the smart brother rather than the dashing one. "Smart is Sexy". The action is kind of gruesome. That's enough dead camels, thank you, please stop. I was disappointed the title has nothing to do with the movie. The comic relief was sparse but there. I like period pieces but it didn't pull me in. The meeting between the father and son is not intense. I hoped for a much better argument. These guys are supposed to be the best and the brightest and it gets off to a good start but then it fizzles. Better foreshadowing would have really helped the weak ending. Obviously a better ending might have been its own salvation. Watch it on a Sunday night with popcorn and a soda you'll be fine.
