What a mess of a movie

Rating: 2/10 (30 January 2014)

This is such a mess of a movie. Oliver Stone has somehow become a respected director (a mystery in itself), but this movie is worse eve than his average piece of natural fertilizer.
He has a cast of competent actors, though there seems to be no good reason for Angelina Jolie to have a Russian (Serbian? Slovakian?) accent. Colin Farrell reveals to the world that Alexander had badly bleached hair with long dark roots. Couldn't they afford a wig?
With a better script (staying closer to the historical record) and a better director, this could have been a decent movie. Instead, it's Oliver Stone's "Alexander."
