Revenge, and it's served cold. |
|||||
|
Pros: Great period feel to it, quiet intense acting. Watch it for the dueling sequences.
Cons: Very slow moving...
The Bottom Line: A real sleeper of a flick, but very very good. Ridley Scott's earliest films, and the mood he evokes works. Check it out!
Review: Ever hate someone? I mean, really hate someone? So much that their destruction becomes everything that you focus on, to exclusion of your sanity, your career?
That's the theme of this film. Based upon Joseph Conrad's The Duel,... |

Pros: A full-bodied drama that's not just a war flick - this is a deep epic!
Cons: Some violence and intense scenes and themes not suitable for pre-teens.
The Bottom Line: A compelling story, visually stimulating, with round characters, masterful acting, pacing and "build" to a climactic ending. What more could one want?
Review: "Napoleon I., whose career had the quality of a duel against the whole of Europe, disliked duelling between the officers of his army. The great military emperor was not a swashbuckler, and had very little respect for tradition.
Nevertheless, a... |

Number One From Ridley Scott or "What Were We Fighting About Again?"

|
Pros: Well directed and directed. Good, solid lead off from Ridley Scott.
Cons: Perhaps just a tad slow at times.
The Bottom Line:
Not a whiz-bang, but a very good exploration of what people do for honor. Review: Duels are about honor. One party is insulted by another in some way, we're usually (but not always) talking about two men here, and he must seek "satisfaction. Often the "wronged" party would just as soon forget about it but is pressured by his ...
