one of russell crowe's best

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2003)

Gladiator captures the realism and authenticity of the roman era. The filmmakers were very accurate with the costume designing and the coliseum was even built from scratch for the film. The acting was superb, especially Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix.
A great story about a roman general who was betrayed, and brought back to live out the rest of his days as a gladiator. ***1/2
