not an epic,just a good night out

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2000)

Worth seeing just for the enormity of it all but I wouldn't pay to watch it twice.Richard Harris was really good I thought but Connie Nielsen,dear oh dear.Russell Crowe was much better in LA Confidential though he isn't BAD in this.Action scenes are very graphic but add to the whole story which at times you want to speed up because you know whats coming next.Certainly not on par with epics such as Ben Hur but worth seeing on big screen as opposed to video.
