Advantages: Great acting and story Disadvantages: Sean Bean playing the baddie again!
Well this was my hubby?s film choice and I am just so glad it was not a western. I was a bit dubious as he bought this film and the sequel in one go so I was praying that this film would be good as I knew I would have to watch the second one regardless even if I did not enjoy the first.
