	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"A gritty, brutal chase movie that’s more about swords (and spears, and axes) than sandals — although it could have done with a lot more character-meat on those bones. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United States	Leslie Felperin Variety	"Rousing if slightly predictable (...) As popcorn entertainment, the pic delivers well enough"	POS
