Braveheart meets Seven Years in Tibet

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2003)

I definitely like this movie. The premise was great, the story was well developed and easy to follow. Tom Cruise was convincing in his role and was great to look at as well. The most interesting part of the film was the time he spent with the Samurais and how much he learned from their culture. At parts it was a little over done; they tried to make us cry too often. It could stand to be 20 minutes shorter but I feel that way about a lot of war films. I'd say it worth seeing and you can learn a lot from it as well.
