Entertainment Reviews:
[The film] offers generous amounts of axe-wielding carnage and pleasingly old-fashioned sense of craftsmanship....Giamatti's full-on turn as the rogue monarch is the key attraction here...
Sight and Sound
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [S]mart and exceedingly adept....[The] casting is almost uniformly first rate with Cox, Purefoy and the always brilliant Giamatti providing noteworthy standouts.
Box Office
Like Takashii Miike's 13 Assassins, Ironclad takes a familiar genre-the historical action picture-and colors it blood-red.

Film Journal International
James Purefoy's Marshal is still bound by his Templar oaths, but will he be able to preserve his vow of chastity when Kate Mara's lady of the castle starts fondling his great big Templar sword?

Rating: 2/4 --
The problem is that the movie is only swords and stage blood. The suits of armor are all empty.

Newark Star-Ledger
3 stars out of 5 -- Purefoy solidifies his manly rep as the near-mystically empowered warrior monk....Paul Giamatti is a terrific villain, delivering angry speeches about the divine right of kings...
Empire
Rating: 3/4 --
Good gravy, if you're looking for satisfyingly bloody swordplay, look no further.

Product Description:
Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti stars as King John in this epic historical adventure detailing the siege of Rochester Castle in the year 1215. Forced under duress to sign the Magna Carta, an enraged King John assembles a rogue army and fights to take back England by force. As the king sets his sights on London, the only thing standing between him and total victory is Rochester, where the brave Baron Albany (Brian Cox) prepares to fight back until the cavalry arrives. Chief among Baron Albany's small yet determined rebel army is a Templar Knight (James Purefoy) still haunted by his reprehensible actions during the Crusades and wracked with love for Reginald de Cornhill's (Derek Jacobi) ravishing, neglected wife, Isabel (Kate Mara). Later, as the king's army approaches, ruthless mercenary Beckett (Jason Flemyng) and young soldier Guy (Aneurin Barnard) vow to fight alongside Baron Albany to the death.
