Very good movie despite the historical errors

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2015)

I just finished watching this first Russell Crowe directed film and i loved the style of the movie! Returning themes, the cinematography and a good score all supported this overall great movie. I read a lot of the reviews on this page and was shocked by the reactions of historical incorrectness. Yes, I agree, this movie isn't historically correct, but why make such a point of it? Movies like Inglorious Basterds and Braveheart are just as incorrect, but unlike this one, received a lot better by the critics. At the start of the movie it is said that it is based on real life events. It doesn't state that it is a documentary or a historical movie. It is the story of a man desperate to find his missing sons and I think Russell's done an outstanding job. Can't wait to see more of his work!
