It gets the adrenaline going...

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2000)

Russell Crowe, now that name sounded vaguely familiar to me. Yeah, he played in a little movie called "Virtuosity" with co-star Denzel Washington back in 1995. Now this movie didn't earn very much recognition, but I'm sure Gladiator will. The movie had me hooked from the beginning with the battle between the Romans and Barbarians. The panoramic shot of the battle was breathtaking. Russell Crowe delivers one heck of a performance, as one would say "whoa". I heard myself muttering that word over and over again. The battles are very well done and flow with smooth perfection. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but it was definitely fitting, nonetheless. This movie is a must-see, for movie fans of all genres. Gladiator delivers a bit of everything. Perfect 10.
