A Story of Victory and Triumph

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2007)

Sometimes I wonder what critics are looking for when they watch a movie, most people could care less about cinematography or color highlights. People nowadays want a good story or good plot they can follow and most of all they want something they can feel is real and gives them an energy about life. This story of defying the odds against treachery and narcissism was very appealing, very empowering and very uplifting. We live in a world that worries so much about violence, but violence in this film is necessary to the degree that these men held back nothing to save the lands and families. I read the history of the battle and was even more intrigued how the twists and turns of the characters were made to give it that extra humph. Please don't rely on the critics for this one. Go see it you will not be disappointed. Its not just a so called "Man's' film, its a film for anyone who believes they can overcome any situation when the odds are so stacked against them.
