Very, very slow to load on a tablet.
Sigh. Here we go again.
By seventies feel, I mean massive gasoline explosions where there should be none, for the fake wow factor. The playing with facts or jumbling...
Afraid I can't agree, it was a missed opportunity. Like other Mel Gibson "historical" movies, he plays fast and very loose with facts, the battle...
