Gladiator (2000)

Cast: Russell Crowe (Maximus), Joaquin Phoenix (Commodus), Connie Nielsen (Lucilla), Oliver Reed (Proximo)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Gladiator page.

The special effects were definitely a bit lacking, but the story and cast are great. Going from a general to a gladiator must be an amazingly difficult thing to endure. The way the gladiators were treated by the public as heroes when one of them would usually die was pretty interesting, too.

I'm a sucker for a period piece, but it's definitely worth the time to see it!

Grade: B+
