Sensational swordsman slashes, stabs, sticks, scars, socks, snips & skewers Caesar's scummy scallywags

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2001)

I don't generally go for sword fighting movies, but this one was a winner. Good battle scenes and even better "to the death" contests showing some real blood baths. Of course, there was the political infighting which led to the final confrontation between an odious ruler and his slave. First rate.
