An Immortality Worth Mourning

Immortals- the new feature flick from the mind of Tarsam Singh (director of The Cell and The Fall) features a decent cast, some decent effects, surrounded by a storyline with an immense amount of rich documented history... none of which Singh takes advantage of. Great performances from Theseus (Henry Cavill), Zeus (Luke Evans), and Stavros (Stephen Dorff) who give it their all amongst the muddled plot and Mickey Rourke's distracting accent. Immortals greatest flaw is not taking advantage of the actual legend of Theseus himself- the film is wrought with historical inaccuracies which come off as cheap Hollywood backroom writing instead of rich Greek mythology.
