Why won't it stop?

Rating: 2/10 (18 July 2000)

Forget the historical inaccuracies, this movie fails on the most basic level -- it fails to entertain. The script is the most cliche-ridden thing I've seen in a long time. Not one implausible situation was left unexplored! The acting is cartoon style, which is to be expected in action movies but this movie takes itself way to seriously for us to forgive that. The movie also drags on and on and on. It is 2 hours and 40 minutes in length and not interesting enough to sustain that length. None of the subplots work, even the romantic ones. They should have cut them all out, saved us an hour, and moved things along. The only thing good I can say is that the movie is very well shot. That's it and its not enough to make this movie worth your time.
