This is an old style Hollywood epic bolstered by a bit of fine work by Russell Crowe. The baddies in the mix are not done very well and the script gets off the rails toward the end but you gotta have that facedown in the arena. Good…

Great film with one of the greatest single minded acting performances in cinema history by Russell Crowe. Stunning and subtle he acts without acting. Just a look in his eye or a slight gesture conveys heavy weight and gravity. 420~ One of…

An outstanding Ridley Scott film. Inarguably deserving of Best Picture. One of those movies that I can watch over and over again. And have. And will. "Braveheart" is another. Cinematography, score, CGI, cast... Crowe deserved his Oscar,…
