It's a 10 like it or not.

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2003)

This is a very good piece of cinema. Who cares if it's formula or true or ficticious. This is a film on the same level as Lawrence of Arabia, Zulu, 55 days at Peking, The Sand Pebbles, and with more quality lovemaking than Dances with Wolves. This is the way a man wants to love a woman. Don't go if you don't care for violence. You'll get it in Spades...ah, I mean "Blades" ...pun intended.
