The dramatic twist where the hero’s brothers turn against him and even kill each other turns out to be a letdown. The climax, which should have been a high point, ended up being underwhelming, leaving many viewers disappointed.
The plot twist felt contrived and outdated, undermining the film’s overall impact. It’s surprising to see how such an old-school storyline could resonate so well at the box office.
