Thought it was okay.  Beautifully made and shot, but the narrative was rather weak, at least until the end.  I honestly thought of a porn film: whereas a porno is written to create as many possible opportunities for some combination of the cast to have sex, it felt like this movie was written to create as many possible opportunities for some combination of the cast to fight. 

<spoilers begin now>

The one duel between Nameless and Snow (in front of the soldiers) was repeated three times, each time under different circumstances, and in a different color scheme.  What's more, Snow stabs Broken Sword four times (twice lethally, twice non-lethally), each time for radically different reasons and in different places.

But one thing bugged me.  At the very end of the movie when the soldiers are marching, they chant out something that sounds like "Savo!/Sabo!".  The subtitles don't say what it means.  Now, earlier in the movie, another army chants, and its translated as "Storm!"  However, while I can't be sure, I don't think its the same word.  Does anyone else know what this means?
