Reviews (1)
If this is the movie that jeopardized John Wayne's health and caused him cancer, it's a great pity that it wasn't a higher-quality film. But the very idea of John playing a Mongolian warrior and conqueror is just weird in itself. The film is not that bad; there are good action scenes, but it's too lengthy, and it’s a pseudo-epic film that doesn't entertain much.
