Troy won't earn applauds for being accurate nor does it need to. It is a rousing film and contains some awe-inspiring visuals. Wolfgang Peterson's Troy is a great period war film with the plot that concerns the Trojan War and takes place in a matter of days (or weeks as opposed to the 10 year timeline of the historical event). Featuring a host of stars like Brad Pitt, Peter O Toole, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom the film is an epic with some neat battle sequences. Among the performers Eric Bana shines the brightest though it is Pitt's Achilles who commands the screen. If you like historical epics then Troy by Wolfgang Peterson is right up your alley.
