Just saw the film. Wow! Not gay at all. Pretty intense, very artistically presented, lots of blood, inspiring bravery, courage and strength. It reminded me of Braveheart quite a bit in its message of standing for freedom and submitting to no one. Did I mention that it had lots of blood? Yes. Lots of it. I mean that. Holy cow. I would watch it again and recommend it to those who like this kind of thing. Not for the kids though. Not even close.
I second that - just got back from the movie...friggin' great! I would definitely rank it up there as one of my top 10. Note to all FReepers: If you enjoy a good war movie that truly captures the warrior spirit - see this movie!
The movie was not great as Robert Rodriguez's Sin City or Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
The time went by quickly, but the film could have been better.
It isn't in my top ten favorites of all time which includes Citizen Kane and The Godfather.
