The life and times of Genghis Khan kick some serious ass! 

I just saw Sergei Bordov’s Academy Award nominated film “Mongol” and I was blown away.

The excellent cinematography and storytelling of this epic film about the 12th Century uniter of the Mongol people is beautiful from opening frame to closing credits.

Part I of a proposed trilogy is riveting as the young life of Temjudjin (who becomes Genghis Khan after founding the Mongol Empire) is incredible with so many ups and downs that I thought I was watching an Asian “Die Hard” mixed with a few parts of “Braveheart” and “Kingdom of Heaven.”

Fine performances from Mongol actors and Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano who plays Temudjin’s blood brother ‘Jamukha is especially poignant.

Do not miss Mongol - now playing in a theater near you.
