A very enjoyable film

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2011)

I had never heard of this film, it was shown on TV on one of the lower end movie channels in the early hours. Because of the nature of the movie channel I was expecting a low budget, badly dubbed, foreign film, I could not have been more pleasantly surprised .... it was a high quality, English language film with good acting and expert directing. How historically accurate it is I would not know, and to be honest do not really care, it entertained me from beginning to end, which at the end of the day, is really all a film is supposed to do. It told a good story in an intelligent and watchable way and did not have to rely on expensive computer generated special effects or lashings violence and/or sex scenes to keep ones attention throughout.
