A Greek Tragedy

Rating: 3/10 (4 March 2005)

It had all the makings of a mediocre epic, big budget, Orlando Bloom, and every British thespian warner bros could find. (Brendan Gleeson is the new Pete Postlethwaite, he's in everything!) Yet it all went horribly wrong, as if Sean Bean wasn't bad enough the way in which the Trojan horse is devised is laughable. Eric Bana is the only one to emerge with any credit although his accent is poor. However it pales in comparison to Achilles "cousin" Patriclus who looks and sounds as though he is auditioning for Malibu CA, yet took a wrong turn and ended up in Wolfgang Petersen's office. Orlando Bloom cannot be taken seriously unless he has pointy ears.
