I didn't want to see it but...

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2000)

I too was very sceptical of this film. It looked like Braveheart
which I hated. A Big macho fest that pumped up the killing
aspect but I was Pleasantly surprised. An interesting character piece and I am glad I was proven wrong. I like to
be proven wrong if it's a good film. Russel Crowe shines
and Joaquin Pheonix, well what can I say except Wow. He
is living up to his Brothers name. Ridley Scott proves once again that he is one of the best
directors around and one of the most visual. So for all you sceptics, check it out; you might be surprised.
