I was also glad to see Gerard Butler back in a serious role again, too, after that string of forgettable romantic comedies.<br /><br />Although he's probably most famous for his role in "300", being a Roman history buff, I particularly enjoyed his U.S. debut in the "Attila" miniseries.

I rented it and it was ready to play when I got home. I can see how the Bards prose could distract you from the action on screen, but I have always had an affinity for Shakespeare and I found the movie to be an interesting mix of shoot em up and Shakespearian dialogue. I agree that the trailer is a little misleading; I would bet that a lot of people weren’t ready for the film and may have walked away like your husband. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
