I don't see what the big fuss about this movie is.

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2000)

Its true that this movie incorrectly depicts both sides of the conflict unjustly, and that the British were not the evil monsters they are made out to be (although a number of atrocities were comited during the war, by both sides whenever it furthered their goals. Personally, I don't care about the historical accuracy in this film, I go to the local cinema for entertainment purposes only. As such, I consider this movie to be fairly entertaining, with a few good scenes (especially the beginning) and a few awful scenes (most notably the ridiculous fight in the end). I do recommend this movie to people who like action movies, but definitely not to history buffs or people who don't understand the underlying premise that it's only a movie, and should be taken as such.
Overall a fairly good 2.5 hours of film. I give it a 7.
