This movie dubbed a fantasy and adventure begins in a hospital. In this hospital there are two characters thrust together by chance. A stunt man with a shattered heart and broken leg and a girl who fell and broke her arm.
Roy befriends Alexandria and begins telling her a story of six heroes who each desire to kill the same man. As the story carries on Roy cons this young child into acquiring medicine for him for his pain. As the story unfolds the viewer begins to understand that medicine will not cure Roy's particular situation.
I decided to watch this movie because I wanted to continue a recent run on fantasy movies. This was far from anything upbeat and was truly sad the way the story unfolds. For those of you who are looking for a fantasy adventure I would look on - the lack of action throughout and the morbid twists will leaving you wishing you picked another movie. For those of you interested in fantasy movie with a dark/depressing motive well you can find it on Netflix.
