Superb Action Movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2006)

I really enjoyed this movie. It evenly illustrates the courage and resolution of the men on both sides of the battlefield.
The initial cultural clash between Chard and Bromhead is reminiscent of the friction found in television series such as "Upstairs Downstairs" which the British dramatize so well. Yet as history has shown, when the people of Britain are united against a common foe, they are extremely courageous.
Most compelling of all is the portrayal of the Zulu as honorable, brave warriors fighting for their homeland. The makers of the film obviously had a great respect and admiration for these people.
