With anger, honor vanishes

Rating: 7/10 (27 October 2005)

within actual historical events, this movie misses greatly. but seeing as how Achilles was a fictional myth anyway, the storyline moves well. the actors and actresses all play great roles. from common slaves to generals of army's and navy's. battle scenes were realistic and action packed. brad Pitt does a wonderful job in this movie. all the female leads were beautiful and well designated. if your stocking up on movies, then you'll want to have this . the reason why you'll want this is for the view of watching men contemplate right and wrong within the frame of love and battle. a nicely written film with good directing and positive acting! could have been better, but they figured with Pitt in it, any and everyone would want to watch it. For history buffs, it fails in integrity, but hey, its cinema, what were you thinking?
