Mongol

"Do not scorn a weak cub. He may become the brutal tiger." The story of Genghis Khan, before he was Genghis Khan -- written and directed by a Russian. The film follows Temudgin, a young slave, as he grows and fights and is enslaved again and then fights some more, and finally becomes The Genghis. The fight scenes are nicely done, very red and gory, but there's too big a lull between the fights where he see The Genghis's softer side. Maybe in the next two entries in this trilogy they'll speed it up.
