Horrid pile of pap.

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2005)

Not even worth a rental... although I must admit I haven't laughed this much in ages... somehow I don't expect Wolfgang had this in mind when making the film. The fight scenes are the best... you can pick out the extras who were just grabbed in for filler and are holding the spears at arms-length as if they were about to explode. The acting is forced and I'm not sure if the editing team were using the right takes half the time. Brad Pitt should never be allowed to do accents in movies... unless of course we can't understand what he's saying. (Yeh leck DEHGS?) I did think Pitt did a wonderful job in Oceans 11, as well as Fight Club and of course Snatch... and would encourage him to pursue similar roles in the future. It's a shame, really as this movie did have quite a bit of potential as well as hype surrounding it.
Bunk. Bunk. Bunk. Avoid at all costs unless you wish to bask in the campy nature of the film.
