Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2000)

This film was marvellous. It's high time we had some more epics of this type, and though quite a task to take on, this has succeeded beyond all expectations. It also proves beyond a doubt that films of this genre are never going to become 'unfashionable'.
Though I've seen LA Confidential, I'm not actually overly familiar with Russell Crowe's work, but I have to say that from this point onwards, I'm going to look out for anything that he's in with interest.
I'd give this film a strong 9 out of 10. The only complaint (and this isn't going to be a spoiler!!) is that I left with the feeling that they'd perhaps edited it rather harshly for whatever reason, and that we as the audience had maybe missed out in order to keep the length down, though maybe I'm wrong.....
