If you wanna watch a good, in its storyline very twisted movie, I would recommend it to you any time. But if you easily get confused by these kinds of movies, you should avoid this one. You might only be frustrated after watching it. As for my part, I admittedly WAS confused. But it left me thinking about it, about the possibility for something like this to actually happen someday.

Jorg Ancrath - The main protagonist of the series, Jorg endures many emotional and physical traumas throughout the series leaving him deeply damaged, resulting in him largely being unfeeling to the suffering of others. He is willing to hurt or kill anyone in his quest to ascend to the throne of the Broken Empire. After the brutal murder of his mother and younger brother, Jorg runs away from his father and his home; coming to lead a band of vicious outlaws known as the Brotherhood. He serves as the narrator. To clarify though, things never get too confusing not to be able to follow, but the first two-thirds of the film are so straight-forward and well executed that I didn't feel like it needed to go in the direction it did.

Overall, i found myself being more immersed and invested in the movie This movie exceeded what I was expecting from it. It’s not just a survival type of story that has a mysterious and twisted plot but it has a strong psychological touch which revealed at the end of the movie. You will be confused and puzzled after every revelation and so you really have to finish it to really understand the whole storyline. To make matters even worse the book is split into two time frames, one four years earlier that narrated past events and one in the present. Yay. So basically it was more of the same. This book seems to be very popular amongst fantasy fans and, I must admit, Lawrence did identify (whether purposeful or indirectly) a major gap within the market.
