DVD Description
A medieval Magnificent Seven, that combines the visceral, stylized action of 300 with the impassioned heroism and romance of Braveheart. Starring James Purefoy (Solomon Kane), Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy), and Paul Giamatti (Shoot ‘Em Up), Ironclad is an ultra-violent action thriller that tells the true story of a motley crew of tough, battle hardened warriors, who withstood several brutal and bloody months under siege, in a desperate bid to defend their country’s freedom.

If you love siege films then you'll love this.
Based arounf King John's exploits and the Lords of the time forcing the signing of the Magna Carta this focus' on James Purefoys Knight Templar as he wrestles with his conscience and beliefs after time spent on the Crusades.
The film is gritty, visceral and honest in it's approach to war and battle.
Some beautiful vista shots contrast brilliantly with the dirt and poverty of life for the everyday man.
I was gripped from start to finish.

Having seen trailers for this film for a while, I was sceptical it would be a case of where all the best bits are in the trailer leaving nothing really innovative. I'm so glad I was wrong.
Ironclad is a first rate (despite being low budget) action film based around the siege of Rochester. The film focusses on the main character played by Purefoy and the king. Lots of action from the outset and characters that you really care for. This film has it all. Be warned however, despite the 15 rating it is very graphic in terms of violence but this does not distract from the awesome plot.
A must have for any fan of medieval action epics similar to Game of Thrones series. A perfect addition to the collection, and at time of writing, only £5 DVD, you cannot go wrong!
5/5
P.S: Another great film starring James Purefoy is Solomon Kane, has mixed reviews on here but believe me it is just as good as Ironclad, full of lovable characters, less gory action scenes (which are frequent) and deep storyline. Check it out!!

Format:Blu-ray
Ironclad is based on the historical siege of Rochester castle by King John. The film is period authentic, very violent, totally gripping, spoiled only by an over the top performance by Paul Giametti as King John. But you can feel and smell the period, and if you have a strong stomach, for these were bloody times indeed, you will enjoy this. It deserved a better life in cinemas than the short one it got.

A bit accurate or what?
I have to admit I enjoyed this film. It wanted to give an accurate portrayal of warfare as indicated in books and documetaries of the period. I think it made a good job of it. Read more

Buy it for the gore and action
BUT DO NOT BUY IT FOR THE STORYLINE!!!
This film is about 95% historically inaccurate, and while that's not a problem, the only good bits are the fight scenes. Read more
