Flesh, blood and brains.

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2001)

The gladiator shown in this movie is a man of flesh, blood and brains, not only integer, will-powered and physically dominant, but also intelligent and sensitive. A real difference from previous movies on similar themes. Further on the whole film is breathtaking by acting achievements, special effects and sound-track. Very lucky I saw it, because mostly I am not so interested in big show-pieces.
