The greatest truism in movies - trailers never lie. However truncated the format, trailers give a great indication as to the quality of the dialogue, acting and overall tone of a film. My fear was the casting, no not THAT casting. My excitement around such an exciting project was dampened every time announced each new cast member was yet another populist, light-weight actor. The trailer has confirmed these worries, the dialogue and interactions were nearly hokey, closer even to Gladiator 2 than Gladiator, I'll be amazed if I end up giving this over a 6/10.
