Set in a war-torn land where tribal factions live in fear of annihilation, the film tells the story of a deadly warrior leading a destructive war campaign. When he is betrayed by his own and left for dead, he is healed by a mysterious princess and taken in by a hidden tribe that believes he was chosen to wage a final battle. The Veil has a terrible plot, acting and an overall confusing story also the fight scenes were awful and i'm not suprised to be honest. (0/10)
I've reviewed many films here and there is always a mix between the great and the awful and everything in between. This movie however is at the low end of the awful. First - gosh is it slow. The actions scenes (fights) do nothing to speed it up because they're poor, you don't know nor care for the characters, and it looks like something filmed in the 70s with a very low budget (Let's get some friends and fancy dress armour and go to the desert and see if we can film a fight scene bad).Second - boring. Yep, it goes and goes and goes and goes no where you ever care about, and it really takes its time getting there. I'm sure movies like this are useful for young directors, cast, crew to cut their teeth on, but this isn't a film you'd want on your resume unless you're resume was really really empty.
The only reason to watch this movie is because it is so unwatchable. The Veil is a movie where the soul of Ed Wood is resurrected into the body of whoever directed this and then goes to an artsy film school, then takes way too many mushrooms and cannabis gummy bears, then somehow gets $300,000.00 and makes a movie.
This film, subsidized by the Oklahoma Film Rebate Commission or something similar, was a lame attempt. Neither the plot nor the characters were developed, the acting quality was sad, and the fight scenes were high school. The Kingdom appeared to comprise a village of 9 or 10 funky black tents and had a similar number of warriors, while the Dominion (opposing dark side) had a few buildings made out of stone and perhaps 20 or 30 warriors. One reviewer said it was better than expected. I would hate to think what it was that he was expecting. The Film Rebate Commission should get their rebate back.
