Don't usually like period pieces..loved this movie!

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2000)

Forced to see this movie, I loved it and feel that it should be considered for academy award and Mel Gibson gives his best performance ever. The supporting cast was wonderful and the special effects were superb. I don't care what the reviewers say, it is only one person's opinion and mine is that it should get the Academy Award consideration. The perfect storm got the hype and this leaves it in the dust.
