The Bastard Executioner (2015)
Put simply - its bad.

Despite its promising historical subject matter, Bastard Executioner falls flat in nearly every element of production. Its plot is woefully cliché, its performances are groan-inducing, and its dialogue is both stilted and ridden with hasty exposition. Camera work is jumpy and exhausting, and reckless editing makes it difficult to follow minute-to-minute events. BTX's gratuitous violence - and i do mean gratuitous - contributes little to the experience other than shock value. I could go on about over-dependence on CGI, tasteless stylistic choices, a general lack of authenticity, useless female characters, "boring-ness", etc., but i think you get the idea.
Do yourself a favor - watch something else.
