Perfect exteriors, great actors, but poor screenplay

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2001)

I think that this movie could be one of my favorites, but it has really poor story. It is still the same, good guy, bad guy, pretty woman and some empire between them. Very good special effects but the battle scenes were very fast. What i missed was also some sort of idea, that i could remember longer that one day as it was for example in Besson`s Messenger. The end of the movie recall me antic tragedies, but in some forcible way. But what i really like in this movie was acting of Joaqin Phoenix, he was better than Crowe. And who doesn´t like Connie Nielsen is either gay or have not seen The Devil`s advocate. So it is good to see it, but it is not a revolution.
