Audience Member I can understand why the movie has received such low scores, but the story isn't all bad...it's just poorly executed. The acting and action, if more convincing, could make the somewhat outlandish premise a little more realistic. It brings to mind Final Destination - another good story arc held back by overly exaggerated acting and storytelling. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Lorenzo Lamas as a cop seeking out a connection between a string of murders, his dreams and a stolen sword used by Alexander the Great. Somewhat flimsy premise also features an underground sword fighting ring with matches to the death. Despite identifying the killer, the cop curiously decides against bringing him to self-servingly find out how his dreams are connected. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Accomplished fencer and clairvoyant police detective is pulled into an investigation involving the heist of Alexander The Great's sword. It's a bit of an unnecessarily convoluted plot. Anything with Lamas in the lead, however, is worth checking out and this is no exception, although it will be quickly forgotten. For those interested apparently there is a sequel called Gladiator Cop. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
