Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who loves a will-they-won't-they and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. The chemistry carries it. Same wavelength as Ben-Hur or The Guns of Navarone.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A Roman soldier falls in love with the daughter of a Greek city's anti-Roman leader.
