评分和评价

If you can make it through the slow first half, then you are treated to a fast paced and thrilling last half filled with action and excitement. One the the few movies I rented on discount $.99 that I actually liked. Enjoy!

Family bonds differ for each person. These siblings will do everything in their power to save each other. This fictional account examines the complexity of human relationships while depicting historically relevant issues of the era.

The basics of the movie is: Shoot arrows at bad guys and protect my sister. However, there is enough meat in the movie to make it quite enjoyable. Action+Drama = pretty good movie.
