Brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2003)

Ed Zwick's latest film is astonishing. The story was powerful, the acting was majestic, and the battles were intense. This film is simply spectacular. The characters were real enough to the point where you cared for them, the dialogue was believable and intriguing, and the directing was allusive and ingenious. There are many levels this movie takes and does them all justice. A hands down nominee for Best Picture for 2003. Although the feeling still haunts that it, like all the others, will soon hail to the 'King.'
