[Paradox]

I think Hollaran is a Libertarian, since I have seen him rip socialism in movies before.

[Antoninus]

Honestly, it would not surprise me if this reviewer does have his head screwed on right. I haven't seen the movie yet, but the adverts made it look quite awful, I must say. Exactly the kind of over-stylized historical action/adventure epic that I generally dislike (Gladiator being the one exception).

I'll withhold judgment until I see it, though.
