Though an acceptable film, the directorial debut of Russell Crowe, is a bit of a mish mash as he tries to do too much. He wants the film to have the status of a David Lean blockbuster ( Laurence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago etc.) yet the intimacy of Peter Weir's Gallipoli. As war films go it is not too bad, but Crowe should have been his own director without the influence of two past giants of the film world!
