I'll admit I've been a fan of Emily Carey since she was on the British drama "Casualty"... and I see some of her excellence here, too. She is the only one to hold accent throughout the film, but the directing spoiled much of her talent.
The editing is choppy; Rasputin is not portrayed accurately and his costume changes several times; there are scenes in the trailer that were apparently cut from the film. It's a lot of 1980s fluff with little plot to be found. There's no historic accuracy and this must be viewed as a fantasy (as it is justly billed).
I wish I could give it a higher rating, but this just wasn't worth the two year wait. Sorry, Emily.
