awful film

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2006)

i thought this movie was one of the worst films i've seen in a long time. oliver stone really went beneath his potential, when he took on this film. the first thing you notice as the film begins is that all the people seem to have Irish accents except for Alexander's mother. very poor choice in casting on that aspect, since the characters were suppose to be Greek. the acting was very over dramatic. it seems like very few minutes someone was screaming about something. the war scenes were gruesome and unnecessary. Collin Ferrel gave on of the worst performances of his career. he was unconvincing. the rest of the movie dragged and i lost interest. don't waste any money on this film. avoid it at all costs.
