This movie was a non-starter period.
First the good parts. Gail Kim was quite good, especially in many of her action sequences. The musical score was decent.
The many bad parts.
1. The title and trailer are misleading to say the least.
2. The few parts of the plot that were comprehensible were a rip off of Angel Heart (An excellent movie by the way).
3. The film was dark and disturbing - murdering the princess did not contribute to the plot it just was sickening - Perhaps an older member of the royal family (brother) would have served the plot just as well. The rating needs to be restricted.
4. The film was badly made, dark, hard to follow scenes. Very little cohesion.
5. The acting was bad period (except for Gail Kim).
6. The few special effects were really sub-standard.
7. There were blatant political overtones about the situation in Tibet - not subtle at all - implication that the occupation of Tibet will lead to the invasion by China of neighbouring countries (e.g. Nepal). For all China's problems in Tibet, this implication is unfair and simply not justified.
No wonder it took so only to release, yuk.
