So much for the glory of Rome
A well balanced blend of drama and action, Gladiator follows the rise and fall of two great men. Maximus (Russel Crowe) delivers a mind imprinting performance as he goes from General of the Northern armies to becoming a slave. Forced into becoming a gladiator, he slowly climbs back to the top. With many road bumps along the way, we see a man fight for love, honor, and respect. Amazing sequences, artistically sound in it's delivery, and some kick butt gladiator fighting that'll have you screaming "thumbs down" to the new Ceasar.
