Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2007)

It's almost as if the writer and director made a challenge to themselves to see how many clichÃ©s they could fit in and scenes and plot devices they could carbon copy from braveheart, hero, lord of the rings, the patriot, gladiator, mortal combat and god knows how many other epic movies. It also loses points for including lines like "freedom isn't free" and having too many comparisons to the war on terror (with a pro war message).
The characters show one-dimensionality that is usually reserved for romantic comedies. The good guys are white. the bad guys are brown. Holocaust deniers have a better grip on historic events. It is a shoe in if the Oscars ever add the category "most homoerotic".
stylistically though, it was the bomb-digga.
