Title: What were they fighting about?
Product review: Can't recommend this movie. They never make it clear what the fighting is about. The director never really figures out whether he is making an action movie or a chick flick. So he tries to do both and does neither well.The first 45 minutes or so are at least somewhat interesting. But after that the fun is over. The British are portrayed as caricatures. The reasons for fighting are never really explained, beyond the fact that one British officer is a mean, nasty fellow.The best line in the movie, where Gibson states that he sees no reason to prefer 3000 tyrants one mile away to one tyrant 3000 miles away is wonderful. But I am sure the point is lost on 99% of the audience.Yes, some suggest that we have to ignore the historical failures of this film. Fine. But simply as a film this movie was not very good. Rather typical of all Roland Emmerich films. BAD
