You wonder how it's possible to extract so little adventure from such a rich mine of raw material. Go to Full Review
Mikel Zorrilla Espinof Aug 7, 2019
Technically well-made, but suffering on the artistic side for the lack of connection with the characters at an individual level. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Alex Lines Film Inquiry Apr 30, 2018
It's hard to take this film seriously when it depicts so much violence, but chooses to censor it in a way which that is detrimental to its impact, especially when it's willing to show a rape scene, but not someone being shot with an arrow. Go to Full Review

timondr T @RT43207456 Sep 4, 2024 It is worth the time, is not a feel-good movie, is an honest depiction of the people of their time, and is well-based on actual information. If you had read the conquest of Mexico records from Sahagun you would put in images of what Sahugun was describing in words. It might be a history assignment for college or high school students. It is an entertaining way of understanding human nature on its darkest side. See more Geke g @RT40239519 Aug 7, 2024 Real harsh gold. Perfectly fine See more Munkhchimeg T @RT64187897 Aug 6, 2024 Absolutely interesting. Very good story and plots. See more Bahad j @RT27093708 Aug 6, 2024 I really liked the characters and actions of the actors See more Emilio T @MilloTPue Jul 20, 2018 Once you assume the reality of American conquest, quite predictable,but a good symbol of all what was beneath. See more Mar 11, 2018 Fun movie. I preferred Warner Herzog’s Aguirre, The Wrath of God as a more engrossing story from the same time period. See more Read all reviews
