Two words: Eric Bana

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2004)

I liked the whole movie, I think it's a good one but this is not the first time Hollywood gives us a good epic film; we also have Ben Hur, Spartacus, Gladiator. However all of them have something special, something that makes us not to think about them just like another epic movie and Troy has it too. What is it? I'll say just two words: Eric Bana. Hector has nothing to do with the dull Bruce Banner, when he appears on the screen he eclipses all the other actors, including Brad Pitt who seems furious not for death of his cousin but because Bana is stealing him the prominence of the movie. The sequence in which Hector kills Melenao is the most powerful moment of the film.
