Whoever wrote this mess has never seen a real trial. There are so many plot holes this would never have gone to trial. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

There are so many things wrong with this, I don't know where to begin. NOBODY looks the least bit Roman (Italian). One character even uses the term "bloody". The hero as a child is VERY blonde. You can see that most of the weapons are VERY dull, not even a pretense of a cutting edge. The hero never shaves and is always clean shaven (even after some days as a captive), he does at the end have about a days growth of beard. He suffers a terrible wound to his leg, but at the end he doesn't even limp. When the slave is given to the hero, he pledges loyalty on his father's knife (which he would never have been allowed to keep). When the hero is wounded at the beginning, he is carried off to be tended where he discovers that he is in the house of his uncle, and he didn't even know that his father had a brother. The slave is way too scrawny to have been a warrior. When the horses are supposed to be too tired to go any farther, they are the least bit lathered. One of the Roman soldiers who survived the original legion, goes off on a politically correct rant about how bad the Romans are to invade and enslave other peoples. Donald Sutherland makes the worst looking Roman nobleman that I have ever seen.

I could go On and ON.

This movie has so many faults, it is impossible to list them all. They list having military advisors and other technical advisors, but they must have made it a

policy to do the exact opposite of any advice they were given. Tommy Lee

Jones comes across like the Terminator, he takes a likin' and keeps on tickin'. as well as being some sort of physic tracker. This is supposed to be a film set in the real world, but nothing seems to make sense.
