Nomad

The film is stilted and lame. Worse, the acting is as grim as the story is primeval.

It embraces every clich in the epic-movie playbook, relies too heavily on stale dialogue delivered in somber tones and offers little to its actors besides the opportunity to fashion some great-looking Eurasian costumes.

The filmmakers don't appear to know what's important, let alone how to pace an epic for big drama and maximum thrills.

It really isn't my cup of tea.
