Prince of Pehsia

Sands of time looked like a B movie from the bilboard but I was hoping to see some decent special effects - maybe some intentionally sluggish scene changes and some pixelation, maybe old dos music. But it was a bit disappointing on the spcecial effects and action front. The cast is overwhelmingly British and Scottish with real life indophile Ben Kingsley as the Nizam and Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) of coupling fame playing one of the princes. Jake Gylenhall comfortably fits a persian garb and so does the lady who plays princess Tamina. There are some anachronistic references to bureaucracy and taxes. Maybe the director is trying to say some British intellectuals have a curious tryst with oriental history and wishing the American and Jewish soldiers a safe return.
