Save Your Dinars

Rating: 1/10 (22 November 2004)

Whoever advised Stone on this film and helped him write the script should be shot, dismembered and the pieces thereof should be burned and buried in separate locations. Historically it's so paint by numbers that it's childish. The stories at Sunday School were more sophisticated.
You'd think there would be some spark in his "gay" affair with Hephaeston. But, the homo side is so campy it feels like a "Carry On" film. The movie is all blood and talk, with precious little to drive the plot forward. The music is loud and clumsy and signals every important event.
There is so much political correctness permeating the script it's as though a fog has descended on the film. You never get any sense of who Alexander and his Macedonians were. Did I mention the dialogue was lame. Yes, lame and incoherent just about describe it.
Dear Mr. Stone, don't call us, we'll call you.
