The writing gets a little convoluted at times, although on the whole there's nothing too extravagant here. I wanted to stare at the gorgeous Ben Barnes for an hour and a half, and I wasn't disappointed.

Jackson later in the film, and Jamie Foxx has moments of greatness. There are plenty of well-written scenes, some nice badassery and a hefty dollop of comedy on top.
Then Leonardo DiCaprio shows up and it quickly turns into Tarantino running around with a…
