I must agree with "Immortals", glad to see it rated well, good film!
It has been underrated, indeed. It could have been a real masterpiece if, during some action scenes, he hadn't succumbed to some visual pyrotechnics, common to most Hollywood big budget action films. On the other hand: most of the time you could see what was happening during these action scenes, which is quite rare nowadays.
