Very Good Movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2000)

Tears welled up in my eyes. I don't want to give away the ending, for those who haven't seen it yet, but this was a great movie in so many ways. Action, camaraderie, bravery, love for family and friends, treachery and everything you can think of in one sprawling adventure movie that should catapult Russell Crowe into a career that will span decades to come.
Star-studded with Richard Harris, Derek Jacoby, the late Oliver Reed in a very good final performance, David Hemmings and many familiar faces such as Sven Ole Thorson, Rolf Moeller, and Connie Nielsen who has starred in Soldier and the recent hit Mission to Mars.
The movie is around 2.5 hours long but I could not bear to leave my seat for any reason and I am so glad I didn't.
