Dragon Blade movie

Starring Jackie Chan, John Cusack and Adrien Brody (The Pianist). Amazon show the time as 127 minutes, but the box shows 99 minutes. The cuts are obvious, and I guess this has resulted in somebody cutting and pasting short explanatory scenes all over the place. Also, some scenes are simply "what's happening? How did they get there". Still, it is fairly understandable and viewable, although it tends to dwell on emotion, some of which would have been better to cut shorter rather than the story line. Overall, not bad, however, the explanatory notes at beginning and end need 20/20 vision and a huge screen to read. The story is about a Roman general escaping with the young brother of a Consul's son who wants to kill the brother and take over the Silk Road. Jackie Chan is the protector of the silk road, but the Brody's scheming has left him disgraced.
