THE GREAT WALL<br />

n The cumulative résumé of all the players who put this film together is impressive. The<br />
complex politics surrounding its making and release is equally compelling. Here we will just<br />

in an action-adventure fantasy about a couple of European mercenaries in 12th century China<br />
who become imprisoned in the Great Wall, and are then recruited by their captors to help fight<br />
marauding monsters who are besieging the famous fortress.<br />
