Our take

A loose adaptation of the eponymous 18th-century text, this is KRU Studios’ most ambitious work. A powerful and charismatic Stephen Rahman-Hughes leads the charge through massive battle scenes featuring hundreds of extras, in an action spectacular which won Best Film at the Malaysia Film Festival.
