I concur with many of you that this movie was way to long, slow and anticlimactic.
Pictorially it was beautiful but there was so much lost potential with this film that was left omitted.
It contained lots of chatter and religious doctrine about turning your cheek, etc from a church at that time was about as ruthless as royalty in feudal times.
It started out with great expectation but ended with sad disappointment.
I had thoroughly enjoyed Mads Mikkelsen in the Pusher, and his role as Michael Kohlhaas was great.
In the end the director needed to tighten the film belt by a few notches to have made this movie a good movie.
