À propos de ce film

The Magistrate (Rylance) of an isolated frontier settlement on the border of an unnamed empire looks forward to an easy retirement until the arrival of Colonel Joll (Depp), whose task it is to report on the activities of the 'barbarians' and on the security situation on the border. Joll conducts a series of ruthless interrogations, which leads the Magistrate to question his loyalty to the empire.

Notes et avis

An amazing reminiscence of 60's films, especially Lawrence Of Arabia. Something that pleases me to see is how fans are loving it, this is something fans of Pattinson and Depp are going to adore and something film fans should relish because you don't get something like this anymore. It's "slow" sure but it uses that slowed pace to make sure it's characters are nailed down, wringed out and properly presented on screen. A $15 price tag is more than welcoming, get it, please and support it.

I found this movie to be extremely boring. I have no idea how this has 4.8 stars on here. It’s slow and I wanted to stop it after 45 minutes of watching, but I rented it so I figured might as well give it a shot. Nothing grasped my attention.

Very well shot & acted film, though not for the faint of heart. It's definitely a downer. Don't know why there are so many "bored" reviews. The film is filled with suspense and tension, so maybe those folk just have ADHD.
