Ok maybe this film didn't do the book justice, but it would need to be about 10 hours long to do that. What it is though is a very entertaining yarn well made. Its like director Kevin Reynolds earlier movie "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves" a modern retelling of a legend thats been made several times. Also Richard Harris is great in his role as the prisoner, that alone makes it worth watching. ***7.5/10***
