More than I expected

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2000)

Having seen the previews, and not particularly a fan of Antonio Banderas, I wasn't expecting this to be one I may add to my picky collection. But I was very much surprised. Banderas portrayed his part well, as did the whole cast. Plot, well, good vs. evil, honor vs. dishonor, courage vs. cowardice... Heck. It was just a good movie! You really identify with the characters, and the rugged life of the time and location. And I really think they did an OUTSTANDING job on the authentic visual support i.e. weapons/dwellings/clothing etc... Pleasantly surprised. Will watch it again!
