I was really surprised at some bad reviews on another site. I really enjoyed the movie, Antonio Banderas could convey so much with his expressions. The feeling of the loss of a loved was very evident. Maybe I was able to relate to the feelings more since losing my own husband, especially the guilt of time lost with loved ones due to work, other commitments, or simply not making time for family a priority. I felt that the quotes from Marcus Aurelius elevated the movie from just an action film. I was amazed at how in shape Antonio was in, and how well he did the fighting scenes. Antonio has class, and it comes across on the screen.
