Review of Flesh+Blood

Flesh+Blood (1985)
7/10
Not really the Middle Ages.
4 October 2023
An enjoyable romp with lots of gore, blood and nudity, so what is there not to like? It really centers on three actors. Martin, Steven and Agnes. Martin is with a group of mercenaries, and after the opening castle raid, is expelled and left to fend on their own. Steven would be considered sort of a nerd, and he is betrothed to Agnes, a convent girl, who he never met. They only get a brief meeting, when Martin and his gang attack, and capture Agnes. Martin and his group storm a castle, capture it, and hole up in it. The King and Steven find where they are, see that they have Agnes, and set about attacking it. The build a rather interesting 'tank' with an extending ladder. Don't ask too many questions and how, as this is only a movie. Oh, and the bubonic plague arises. Will Martin be able to rescue Agnes, does Agnes want to be rescued, and will Steven survive the sword fights? All a lot of fun.
