Search: Starring Richard Harris

Visually the film is stunning, recapturing a sense of wonder, even madness, that incorporates the soul of Mother Russia.

Ridley Scott's 2nd century extravaganza dies during those pauses between blood, sweat and fear.

Is it familiarity that makes the heart grow fonder? Or magic?

No surprises. Nothing to write home about. And yet thoroughly entertaining.

At its most effective when in conflict, be it ideological or combat.

A ragbag of cliches, in which Richard Harris attempts to give an acting lesson.

There may be moments when it's truly awful, but it's also strangely compelling.

Bille August is a director who responds to the sensibility of abandonment, recognising an outsider's perception.

Anderson is astonishingly assured for a first-timer.

Perfectly paced and beautifully shot, this manages to be both a successful piece of revisionism and a classic Western at the same time.
