| User Reviewshane ci loved this movie Jared Leto played a great part in this movie |
| User ReviewAries EI honestly only originally watched this because Jared was in it. I felt like, "it has my favorite actor, why not?" So I watched it with my brother. Let me say that I thought it was going to be a little cheesy and off. Although, now, after viewing, this film is fantastic! Wonderful plot and story, and I adored the transformation in the characters. Espcially the fatherliness at the end (with Basil himself, not Basil's father). Far better than I expected, and I even found myself yelling blasphemies at the TV at times. Lol. It was THAT good. LESSON LEARNED: NEVER JUDGE A MOVIE BEFORE WATCHING. ESPECIALLY WHEN STARRING JL. |
| User ReviewKarla Cecilia Ci really love this film the fathers very hard on his sons and cuts them off because he can see hisself in them, basil get hurt and betrayed by a so called friend because the friend wanted revenge on his father. and i like the kissing scenceshehe fangirl mo sorry |

| User ReviewAnna CA really good movie.. surprised how much i actually liked it. Worth seeing |
| User ReviewPrivate UI never even heard of this until my sister in law brought it over, turns out I liked it. |
| User ReviewItamar Git came together so welll at the ending, really good movie. jared played really well. Yayyy! |
| User ReviewT GI was actually surprised how much I liked this movie. It takes place in history - and looks beautifully like one. The people, clothes, speech, manners, surroundings... It is all well done and detailed. The plot itself is rather clever, at least on a first watch (like a snake suffocating on its own tail, as was stated in the movie), and Jared's role as "Basil" is not something pretty to watch - which makes the movie all the more human. Almost so human it is disgusting. |
| User ReviewNelly BGood film...the storyline was was really good. |
