|
|
A noble lord offers a band of mercenaries to plunder a city for as much as they want after they have conquered the city for him. However, the lord recognizes that the mercenaries are not going to leave anything behind for him so he then traps the mercenaries and tells them that they must drop their weapons and plunder. Disheartened the mercenaries withdraw and later a group of the mercenaries return for revenge. The mercenaries then kidnap the lord's son's fiancé Agnes (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Agnes finds herself confused as she desires Martin (Rutger Hauer), the leader for the mercenaries, who is strong and vicious as he temporarily saves her from the other mercenaries. At the same time she finds herself loving the noble and kind Steven who is on the quest to save his beloved fiancé Agnes. Flesh + Blood is a bloody triangle drama set in the end of the Dark Ages when the bubonic plague is wiping out people like flies. Despite its interesting theme the there are some cinematic elements that causes some awkwardness and bring down the overall cinematic experience to an average level. |
