The Scythian is a mediocre medieval-historical-action movie. The story is very thin and most of the time only serves as an excuse for small fights. While these fights are very well choreographed they're very boring and the movie doesn't have any interesting moves or weapons or setpieces that would elevate them to entertaining action scenes. The characters, or the few that even have one, are so one-dimensional without any depth, backstory, motivation or conflict. The cinematography is sometimes interesting and experimental but can't save this boring mess of a movie. Even when you just want to see some medieval action, save yourself some time and skip this one, there are many better movies out there even for this very small niche.
