It really captured the period with its gritty realism I really felt it was the early 15th century, especially the battle scenes were utterly mesmerising as opposing to watching actors dancing with swords who have clearly been choreographed the fight scenes were so very real. I always felt invested in the characters, they were so complex, sometimes flawed, but that is how it should be. The story was clear and engaging and it knew exactly where it was taking you. In particular Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris were exceptional.
