An all time classic in the making

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2000)

This film is undoubtedly the best film of the year, and has to be in the all time top 20. For me it had everything. Russell Crowe is just brilliant and puts in another oscar winning performance. This man can't put a foot wrong at the moment following his huge success in The Insider, although it took me a while to realise it was him as i am sure it will you. A good comeback also by Ridley Scott, who directed it well after a disappointing and not such a great effort with G I Jane. I just couldn't get enough of this film. It wasn't too long or too short, but i can see why the female of the species may not take a liking to it, as there was vast amounts of violence and blood which for me made it better, along with a terrific story line and a heart warming end. I recommend you seeing it but can't guarentee you'll like it as much as i did.
