Repetitively violent and plodding

Rating: 1/10 (24 July 2000)

No full-time director has ever won best actor, but pedestrian and meandering efforts like Beatty in Reds, Costner in "Wolves", Eastwood in Unforgiven and Gibson here have routinely won best Director. Doesn't the DIrecto's Guild ever get upset over popular amateurs garering undeserved achievements. Quite apart from my peeve here, this movie has NO character development, no witty repartee, just bloody battle after bloody battle. I found it purely torture.
