Traditions are meant to be made and broken. Honor is found on the battlefield. ..And, movies where medieval mercenaries wear cool make-up and kick butt in the desert will never be not fun to watch.

There's not much subtlety to The Last Warrior. It's a big, brash and bold throwback to the muscular fantasy films of the '80s.

This is one of those films though where a few scenes degrade the entire spectacle.

The Scythian is old-school action/adventure entertainment with a serious enough throughline to give it dramatic and historical credibility without ruining the fun.
