    That's a poorly constructed "epic" film.Under the shadow of the forgotten ancestors,the quota I can provide you with...pardon me,correct...remove you from ever watching an insult to moral,mental and majestic dignity.Pacino,Sutherland,Hudson,robotic crew?If it were made by the Put...( read more)hons,we'd be talking about a new masterpiece,however..if you are not a fan of miss Kinski's delicate face,I suggest you fall into a coma compared to the indefinite suffering.

    Be sure to see the new version with the Pacino voice-over. Powerful movie history... That's not something you see every day.






    This is a truly great film!

    According to Al Pacino and Hugh Hudson, studio interference was detrimental to this movie's impact. I watched it in the "Revisited" director's cut edition, and I was still unimpressed with what I saw. This is a movie that falls apart so quickly and extremely that it's difficult t...( read more)o pull out any redeeming features. This is a picture that should have been much longer and more detailed, with more focus on the characters and their motives/backgrounds. What we are provided with are not people with discernable traits, and the plot is too cloudy to follow it strictly on that basis. There are things that I respect about this film. For instance, Hugh Hudson's decision to shoot it completely on hand-held cameras is not only bold, but surprisingly effective. This is a very handsome and unique-looking piece. I also admire Pacino's dedication to his craft, and he manages to shape a distinct performance when he appears to have very little to work with.

    It's like "the patriot" from a time in which americans still knew how to make historic movies.
    It's not fantastic, Al Pacino actually plays pretty bad, but it's still ok
