Good story
Good story. I admire the way the ending was handled. It could have ruined the entire film for me, but instead it was beautifully portrayed. I was awed by Crowe's character's fighting skills. I especially liked that last fight. I'm a big fan of action and horror flicks but I found the violence in this film to be especially graphic. Some may find that realism to be a plus. Parents might not want their younger kids to see this film. I must say that the costumes and the scenery in this film were a definite plus. They did a very good job of recreating the Colliseum. It all looked so real.
