MAIN EVENT

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2000)

This is the kind of film made to be seen on the big screen. It's an engaging, adventure tale for adults. The opening battle scene in Germania is on a par with 'Saving Private Ryan'. Crowe is all man, but Phoenix is awful. He's not helped by his script, culminating in the awful line "I'm vexed, I'm truly vexed". There won't be a summer 2000 blockbuster to match this film.
