“It’s good, bloody fun that stirs the intellect whenever it feels like it, and as a swashbuckler, the dead-game (Gerard) Butler outswings just about anyone in Troy or Kingdom of Heaven or Tristan & Isolde. Those overblown historical epics played just as loosely with history as this one does, but they didn’t boast a third of its bawdy, sly humor.” says Bill Gallo in The Village Voice
THE BLOOD OF A POEM
I watched this movie when I was over in England this past summer. I loved it. It was engaging and sentimental. It has some action and some funny parts as well. It certainly isn’t a block buster by any means…but Mr. Butler’s acting carries it along.
