The film

In 7th-century Arabia, Princess Hind becomes a warrior to defy the ruthless Emperor Kisra. Forged into a warrior and aided by legendary bandit Hanzala, Hind unites warring tribes for a last stand—the historic Battle of Dhi Qar—that will change history.

The Real Review

Most people didn't like this historical epic. Anthony Mackie's performance as the bandit Hanzala gets the most attention, but even that isn't praised. The story of Princess Hind uniting tribes against Emperor Kisra is widely panned as unoriginal and poorly told, while the pacing is a major issue for those who mention it. The one saving grace some note is the film's visuals, but that's not enough to overcome the core problems.
