Russel Crowe - Someone you would want on your side in a fight

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2000)

This is the kind of movie that they used to make, with a simple plot and some fantastic performances. What is there to be said of Russel Crowe - well he gives a performance which truly befits that of a true Gladiator, The viewer of this film could easily see him as 'Rome's Greatest General' and at the same time believe that he is all that he as a gladiator and more. Thoroughly enjoyable, a must-see movie. Expect Oscars maybe not for the acting but definitely for the shear grandeur of it.
