This is my first review. Why? Because normally I don't say much about movies, just discuss them with friends. But this movie was so painful to watch, I just have to warn people!
I love history and watch a lot of movies that cover a lot of different era's of the worlds (war) history. If you love history as much as I do, don't watch this movie, as it is really, really bad (couldn't believe this movies rating is above 4! too high for this movie).
The only decent actor is Rutger Hauer and I have no idea why he agreed to do this movie (must have been a promise to a friend or a lot of money). All other actors, especially the "protagonist", are really painful to watch.
Besides that, apart from being based on a historical event, it is very inaccurate (some people stated this before). That doesn't have to be bad as long as the entertaining value is there (look at Braveheart & Kingdom of Heaven for examples; those movies are highly inaccurate, but very entertaining).
This movie is also the perfect example that "love stories" are more a burden on a movie than added value. It was not convincing at all and sounded too forced. If this is what Italy has to offer, then please, stop making movies!
