- A deconstruction of the usual Arthurian legends, putting in their place a darker story of betrayal in a savage Britain.

  King Arthur with a different spin.
  
  Completely different from the normal King Arthur movies.
  
  No magic and lots of battles. Great cast!
  
  Quite violent but very enjoyable.

  Never watch this movie.
  
  This movie will make you want to punch Clive Owen repeatedly in the head while screaming 'STOP ACTING COMPLETELY RUBBISHLY, CLIVE!!'
