Mel Gibson is the face to promote this supersized war-epos, done by the director of blockbusters like "Godzilla" and "ID-4", Roland Emmerich. Like in his former part as fighter for the Scottish independence, "Brave Heart", Gibson bears a lot of personal pain first, to justify the martial actions that follow. Lot's of cheesy hero-galopping-forward-waving-bloody-flag-in-slow-motion scenes. If you feel up to bear this you get dialogues like this in reward: "Pray for me, but pray for the cause first!" or "Father, I killed these men." "You did as I told you, son. You didn't do wrong." Have fun...
