What men will do for love

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2004)

Forget what you have heard about this film. It is an epic tale told on an epic scale. This film will join Gladiator and Pearl Harbour for sheer scale. It matches Glory for the brutality of its battle scenes. Although some liberties may have been taken with the story the basics have been retained. This story is about what man will do for love and the consequences that follow.
The performances are universally good. The charactors are not portrayed romantically but with realism, flaws and all.
This may be nearly three hours long but it rewards you with one of the most spectacular films of the year. This is a must see and a must have when it comes to DVD later in the year.
