The best part of this 'noble Catholic' hagiography is the acting of F Murray Abraham. The worst is the rest of it. The CGI is uniformly terrible (to see a proper battle ca this era 'Ran' is much better). The story has also been perverted from accepted history a good deal. The profound viewpoint bias is readily apparent. Though the Turkish motivations and the fact that most of the conflicts with the Ottomans until the 19th century were framed as religious conflicts by their leaders, this film degenerates into pure Catholic propaganda at times. It's too bad. Witnessing the apex of Ottoman civilization throwing itself repeatedly against European civilization would make a compelling film. This is not it.
