For Brad Pitt fans only

Rating: 4/10 (4 July 2004)

This movie is only fit for people who really really want to see Brad Pitt. He is a capable actor but this isn't a worthy vehicle. Its only slightly better than the movies they skewer on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". The dialogue is terrible and the subplots laughable at best. While some of the battle scenes are entertaining they do not make up for sitting through the rest of the movie.
Some of the actors do give good performances but they have precious little to work with. Most of the non-action scenes are painful to watch. There is only one half decent dramatic scene that doesn't involve battle. The only character that is even slightly sympathetic is Hector.
I can't even recommend renting this. I'd rent "Braveheart" instead.
