These are times when one civilization is replacing another. A new era is about to begin in Central Eurasia. Scythians, the proud warriors, are all but gone. The few of their descendants have become ruthless mercenary assassins, the "waves of Ares." Lutobor, is a soldier with a difficult task at hand. He becomes involved in internecine conflicts and sets off on a perilous journey to save his family. His guide is a captive Scythian by the name of Weasel. Lutobor and Weasel are enemies. They pray to different gods but must embark on this journey together. They brave the wild steppes, moving toward the last haven of the Scythians, to what seems to be their inevitable demise.

I have a small collection of Russian fantasy/adventure. And I always go for original language with English subtitles. This was a great film! Gripping, bloody, gory and suspenseful. As jaded as I am, I actually squealed and covered my eyes a couple of times. It will go into my Frequently Watched stack for when I'm knitting or crocheting. (Yes, I am a bloody-minded granny.)
