Holy schmoly!

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2004)

POSSIBLE SPOILERS
This is the first film I have ever seen by Oliver Stone (yeah, I guess I live in a cave somewhere, huh). It is better than the overrated summer blockbuster, "Troy."
But it is quite disturbing for me. The gore, blood, bisexual overtones, etc. just about turned my stomach so much that it was doing somersaults. This is not a film for the weak of stomach or faint of heart.
Colin Ferrell deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Enough said.
Angelina Jolie is BADLY miscast as Olympias, Alexander's mom. She should have been the one playing Roxane instead of Rosario Dawson. Someone like Glenn Close or Julie Andrews should've had the role as Olympias.
The film is good but it does have a lot of nasty stuff in it.
