Title: Mussolini: Rise and Snore
Product review: Mussolini; we all know who this man is. Antonio Banderas stars in this 5-hour flick about the rise of Mussolini. Now, the title is misleading, there is no fall nor much of a close rise, infact, we get Mussolini's start and personally attempts to portray EVERYTHING about him. Really, Banderas is wasted, the movie is wasted, even the $5 you pay plus tax is utterly WASTED! And why? Because the title will lure unsuspecting movie-goers into a 5-hour sleep-fest. I would give more stars if it just said, "The RISE". It must've taken 5 seconds after a quick peek at the script for the creators to say, "Wow, this is going to be awesome."The good news is that the acting was fair, though it isn't saying too much. Better to skip this fest and if you really want it, you will probably enjoy Mussolini when it is over.
