Last Knights (Movie, 2015)

Set in an age of honor and justice by the sword, Last Knights tells the story of Raiden (Owen) – a fallen warrior who must rise up against a corrupt and sadistic ruler to avenge Bartok (Freeman), his dishonored master. Think of the film as something akin to Seven Samurai but set in the middle ages and you’ll be somewhere close.

Somehow I don't seem to feel much for the story which is the medieval version of Chushingura (the ronins who waited to avenge the death of their master in the Japanese warlord era). Replace the word warrior with samurai, replace the word honor with samurai code, and the adaption of Chushingura is complete, even down to the self-sacrifice of Owen in the end. Then again, the director/producer is Japanese (Kaz Kiriya), it should come as no surprise.
