good, but overrated

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2003)

This film offers pretty visuals, good-acting and an interesting screenplay.

But it´s a movie very overrated among IMDB users, who put it at the 2th place on best movies list.
The explanation is simple the old "fight for your dreams", "never give up" motive, which thrills and delight audiences.

SPOILERS AHEAD For me, the movie doesn´t work in this way. At the end, the protagonist is old, he had been raped, bitten, etc. The final doesn´t work for me in a full happy end, the main time of his life has already gone!
