A fairly good historical drama but it has holes.

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2001)

I am as big a history buff as the next guy and so I can enjoy the
attempt made by this movie. And in general it is well done.
Unfortunately it has gaps that make it not quite add up. As a rare
comment I must say this movie was too short, coming in at just
under two hours. A movie of this type has valid reason to be
another half an hour long. That time I think could be used to patch
the holes and raise the movies score up a few points.
