FairReview's reviews

I just recently (2004) saw this movie and now regret not having seen it earlier. This was a truly entertaining HISTORICAL FICTION, and much more than merely a war epic. It was an Audio/Visual extravaganza - where no expense was spared, and tremendous attention to detail was paid on the scenery, costumes, buildings, room decor, music, etc.

The movie included an excellent romantic side-plot (with amazing nostalgia such as: bidding farewell thru old fashioned revolving doors). I thought the Affleck, Beckinsale, Hartnett interactions were very well acted.

The entire Cast gave absolutely 100 percent and I believe this movie will be valued as a HISTORICAL FICTION.
