Well written, well acted!

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2020)

Didn't expect it but you have to wait till the end. The movie is a great presentation of how things were running in ancient Rome and it manages to touch political, moral, family ethnic stuff... Russell Crowe was a perfect choice for the role and the soundtrack covered the story really nice. Joaquin Phoenix was a great bad guy in this movie, just as it should be for the son of Caesar. Not too much, not too less.. The ending exactly as it should be. Not an unforgettable movie but certainly from one of those historical and war movies that you see from year to year..
