In a billboard sometimes saturated with identical proposals, it is always appreciated when a film knows exactly what it wants to offer and delivers it without beating around the bush. This is the case of ‘St. George’, the production that hits theaters in Spain this Friday, May 29. The film is presented for what it really is: an entertaining and honest historical action drama with its audience.
The plot takes us to the last great persecution of Emperor Diocletian, a powerful historical framework to place the conflict of George, a Roman captain caught between military duty and his deep convictions. It is true that the script does not seek to revolutionize the genre or get into psychological labyrinths; it opts for a classic narrative of a lifetime, with a hero of clear values and a direct moral conflict. It works, the story moves at a good pace and is supported by a direction that knows when to get serious and when to give way to action.
In short, ‘St. George’ does not need to be a masterpiece to be a good movie. It is a very enjoyable proposal that fulfills with note in the visual section, entertains from beginning to end and dignifies the legend of the saint with respect and spectacularity. A more than recommendable option to go back to the theaters this weekend.
