Warriors of the Steppe [Blu-ray]

I enjoyed this very much
If one can excuse the inexcusable political plug in the credits which is so awful it is laughable, this is a well made and well acted film. Technically the picture and sound is excellent and the costumes magnificent. An unusual venture into an offbeat part of the world.

Noble efforts + Boring execution. It might be because of its shoestring budget
It's a B movie loosely based on the history of Kazakhstani people. In the early 18th century, many of them were slaughtered by the Dzungars (a Mongol tribe descended from Genghis Khan). It's basically a revenge movie. However, its shoe string budget hinders its execution. Consequently, the fighting scenes look primitive. They did not have excitement and the sense of urgency. The acting is not engaging.
