Though I was disappointed that this wasn't an actual Hercules movie, it was surprisingly enjoyable and much better than I expected.
If you're looking for a Hercules story with mythology and monsters, this isn't it. Instead, you have an ordinary mortal who is capitalizing on the Hercules myth.
The premise is that Hercules is "just a guy" who happens to be very strong and leads a group of mercenaries from one fight to another. He and his band are roped into helping a king secure his throne from a would be usurper. Action, betrayal, and mayhem ensue and it's actually pretty fun to watch, despite the plot not being anything spectacular.
