Astonishing true story let down by some atrocious acting and (unusually for me) unnecessary swearing that just didn't sit right with the film. The last half of the film certainly kept me interested but it could have been so much better.

I wasn't expecting much from this film and it turned out that way although it certainly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The slight American twang from all the actors concerned even the British actors annoyed me and when one character asked why he was using the Roman tongue my blood boiled over as they were speaking English which wasn't the Roman language but you have to expect that for a mainstream film unfortunately.
