Violence, good acting, predictable story

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2004)

I wound up seeing this because a theater gave me a free ticket when I missed the film I intended to see. I wouldn't have chosen to see this because I don't like historical epics that have tons of violence in them. This is an anti-war film in the guise of a romance. The acting was very good, the scenery was picturesque; but the story was predictable. Way way too much gore and violence. Overkill. Who likes seeing this stuff? Don't we have enough violence in the world as it is?
