Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2009)

Mel Gibson not only stars, but also directs one of the greatest historical movies, that have ever been made. While I'm not aware of the historical facts and what parts might be true or not, the appeal of the movie is undeniable.
The mix of drama, action and sometimes humor, is perfect. The action scenes are shot great and the intense feeling of being right there, in the battlefield ensues. The movie follows through, from start to finish and movie deservedly got many awards. Be it the acting, the costume department or any other aspect of the film, if you like action movies and/or historical movies, there is absolutely no reason for you not to watch this!
