Close to brilliant but still missing some action

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2005)

Hmmm yet another good but could of been better film.
GOOD story, acting, action large vision gritty bloody, one of the best soundtracks ever!!!!
BAD lack of one more fight, don't tell us what he did show us.some casting main thing is if you can not do the voice to match where you are from just don't try it makes it sooooooooo bad
Done right this would of killed Troy off but its lack of some nice action and more on talk does not help and at 160 mins you need a break now and then and one more good fight would of been great, as it is you get one real big fight and a small one, the story is shown well enough and its maybe cost that stopped them from doing more huge fights? i have since seen this film a few more times and it really grows on you more and more, its a shame USA have not taken to it but i put that down to it been gritty and not all gloss like Troy, you need a few more braincells to enjoy this film lol, all i can say is well see it and you decide but for me 8 out of 10, one more fight would of made it a 9 even a 10?
