Title: Deep in the heart of Texas
Product review: Superb cinematography, set design and costumes. (I really didn't care much for the weepy Titanic-esque soundtrack score, however.) And while all of the actors aquitted themselves nicely, I think Billy Bob Thornton's take on Davy Crockett - the reality versus the legend - was a real standout. Historians may quibble about certain details here and there (as they should - it's healthy), but this production of The Alamo exposes John Wayne's vastly overrated 1960 version for the simplistic flag-waving cartoon that it always was.
