It is all quite amusing, but the same kind of thing has been seen so often before that it is not very effective. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy 03/31/2014

Such a mixed bag of tones and registers that it can survive a bit of bad comedy, just like it can survive a bit of tedious overplotting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

acsdoug D @acsdoug Jun 4 One of Fairbanks' early "full length" features, the film feels padded out to me. After fighting fires and catching criminals in New York he goes to Mexico and captures Pancho Villa before finding out he is a long lost European prince. It's a bit of a mess.
