Rating: 5.0
most people are probably looking for blood
the title of this movie most likely conjures up images of bloody 1 on 1 battles in the middle of the great coloseum, and if that's what you want to see, you will. the true plot of the story, however, is more akin to ben-hur, where the loyalty of a man is unjustly set aside for the pursuit of power, followed by the inevitable vengance that brings the movie to a satisfying end. I shall probably count this movie among those I watch on a regular basis, the action sequences intermixed with the plot developement are very nicely done, you always find a little more in each scene that you probably missed the first time. this is truly a modern day epic------finally!
