Ho hum

Rating: 5/10 (4 March 2001)

The lead reviewer, who thinks this is one of the two greatest films ever made, must not have seen many films. Crowe, a sort of uninteresting Richard Burton, is Shane--the little good guy who beats up and kills all the bad guys. The film itself, designed for teens, is a mixture of pro wrestling and sentimentality. The religious aspect is laughable. The political correctness is boring.
Better to see The Robe, with the real Richard Burton.
