Fantastic quasi-historical action epic

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2000)

This movie is an absolute 10 in my book, taken for what it is: a quasi-historical action epic. It's a ride like Hollywood used to make... epic set pieces, characters that you can relate to, incredible action and effects. In the same vein as Unforgiven, Braveheart. You feel for the hero, and you feel the action. Not an Oscar contender per se, but comes close.
I can't wait until it comes out on DVD!
