Hopkins drifts along drinking and brawling until he comes to grips with himself and becomes a powerful force for justice, helping those who are hurting. Hidalgo paints religion merely as cultural heritage. People in the film do not live according to the faith they are said to possess. A “Christian” woman cheats, lies, pays assassins to kill people and offers to have sex with a man in exchange for a personal favor. In addition to these elements and some bad language, there is a lot of adventure violence with humans beheaded, impaled, stabbed and shot. One scene showcases the genocide of an entire village. In the end, the movie applauds personal growth but fails to distinguish true faith from culture.
