Analysis
Alex Proyas, the director of the movie (of The Crow fame), has a well-conceived idea. He has smartly used the swords, and that gives the much-needed visual appeal for a film of this genre. Well, one thing that is striking is that the characters in the movie have queer names like Set, Ra, Bek, etc. The sets also give a distinction to the film. Having said that.,however, there are two stories in the film, and they seem not to interconnect.
