Pretty Good

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2007)

I came here and read a number of reviews before going to see the movie tonight. I think the IMDb rating of 8 out of 10 was right on the money. It was a real good movie, but not "blow you out of your chair" good.
I suppose I'd say if you liked Braveheart you would like this. It's taken the violence up a notch though, along with some nudity/sex scenes. Not as family friendly. Hence the R rating. That's not to say if you didn't like Braveheart you won't like this though! Between my wife and I we cover both sides of that.
One last thing though for those of you reading reviews before going to see it. We are having a hard time figuring out where one reviewer got the idea it was racist, homophobic, and to drum up support for a war in Iran. There was one line in the movie referencing homosexuality and nothing about racism. The Iran.. thing.. is just stupid. That reviewer needs to look at the region of the world this is set and when in time. And stay away from politics.
Good movie, worth the ticket price.
