MUST WATCH I really enjoyed this tale of brotherhood in an unexpected guise, Channing Tatum is a Roman (i know but stick with me) and Jaime Bell is his British slave neither want to be where they are and you are never sure if either are trustworthy. But the journey they go on is worth watching good battles, some of the fighting is very bloody and raw but it feels right, good acting and script not as heavy going as other historical films. The bond the two leads form is believable and not easily come by, which i think makes the film both are likeable and fair.
Like This Watch These: Gladiator (2000) The ultimate in Roman epics but not always a 'fun' watch, Life Of Brian (1979) If only for the 'what did the Romans ever do for us' scene, Spartacus (1960) Not fun or easy but classic and thought provoking, the Kubrickian touches also make it beautiful viewing.
