Title: Worth the time
Review: It is hard to believe that reviewers are complaining about the overuse of cliché in this film. Geez, its Hollywood for goodness sake! There was just as much cliché in the Patriot and for that matter just as much artistic license. All in all, this film is very worthwhile and takes no more liberty with the facts then any good historical novel. And, the facts are that the US was the aggressor in the Mexican American War (Lincoln even brought impeachment charges), that the US executed the San Patricios over world protest, that Irish Catholics where an oppressed group.Granted the film could have benefited by a bit more editing. It was jumpy and the love interest never really blended well. Still it is well worth the purchase price and the time.
Is the review positive or negative?
