Description
Setting a sports story in Ancient Greece is a strong concept with a lot of marketing potential. One could easily imagine this script appealing to the same audience for the 300 movies. Additionally, PAN KRATOS is clearly well-researched and the writer comes across as an expert in wrestling and weapon-free combat. However, the fighting scenes start to get repetitive as the script drags out. As the stages to victory are stretched out, the script loses momentum. Every sequence could use pruning, but the action seems to stand still when we reach the Olympics where the writer’s efforts to be historically accurate begins to get in the way of the narrative. If the characters were more complex, especially the villains, this could help hold the audiences’ interest when the novelty of Pankration competition wears off.
