Loved it. Fantastic fight scenes, great acting, tight plot. The series didn't hold my attention but this is absolutely phenomenal as a stand-alone film.
won't stream
Put it on not expecting it to be my cup of tea. But i really enjoyee this movie and the acting was great. I would watch again.
LOVE!! Beautifully shot and a stunning story or honour and revenge.
Brilliant!! I enjoyed every moment of this film. I am fascinated by traditional Maori culture. They seem very reminiscent of the ancient Celts in many ways. This seems to be a prequel to a series of the same name streaming elsewhere on this channel. I will definately check it out on the strength of this. Top job guys. 5/5
