some good acting!

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2002)

While the war action and Gibson heroics are predictable, I was drawn to the marvelous acting of both Heath Ledger and Gregory Smith, who plays his younger brother, Thomas. The scene where Ledger is taken away prisoner and Thomas incites his father (Gibson) to "do something" is very electrifying. Overall though the movie is long, tedious and bloody.
