Complete Cack

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2000)

This film was complete rubbish. I know little of its historical accuracy and I don't think it should even enter into the debate. Viewed purely as a piece of entertainment this was a boring cliche of a movie. All of the protagonists were cliche's poorly acted and scripted. None of the characterisations were anything other than cardboard cut-outs of characters, completely one dimensional. Richardson gave her usual 'flat' performance, Mel .. well what can I say .. I didn't feel his pain.
To sum up, if you haven't seen this film don't be swayed by the historical arguments into going to see it. Be swayed by this argument ... its a crap film.
