Having no fun storming the castle...

Ironclad (2011) A prime example of a good premise and terrific actors stuck in a really awful film. I was relatively excited to see this, I mean Bryan Cox, Paul Giamatti, and Knights Templar... what's not to like?

Basically everything.

Outside of a few lovely shots of the English countryside, and one strikingly good speech by Giamatti (as King John), this film is like soft-core violence porn loosely tied together with a shambolic and ultimately totally inept plot. 

This movie, like King John before it, deserves to die of dysentery.
