After having watched pompei you can't help but see some of the similarities with other gladiator movies like "gladiator" but none of the magic. The lead actor isn't bad by any means, I just don't think the story itself works nor the love story truly convincing. If you've seen the ruins of pompei you sort of get the inspiration for the movie but some of the choices could have been better and more convincing. While I like Keifer sutherland in 24, his role here is completely out of place. He does not play the role of a roman emperor convincingly nor is the gladiator really all that convincing either. Ok on netflix but you're not missing much.
