One of Ridley Scott's best films, done on a modest budget. The result is an evocative period piece with breathtaking cinematography and marvelous costumes. The dialogue is smart, the fight scenes are gripping and inventive, and the music is haunting. Some camera shots are, quite literally, suitable for framing. Ridley Scott is at his meticulously detailed best. This movie is one to buy, not rent.
