Missed it in the cinemas but finally got my DVD of Ironclad.
Going off hand held cameras as they make me feel ill trying to concentrate on what's going on and although the premise for the film is very "Hollywood" the authenticity of the setting and the mire, deceit and violence that was the period of King John was rather well presented I thought.
It is James Purefoy, of course, so would watch it anyway. :wink:
Nice to see Valdimir Kulich back (last seen by me at least in 13th Warrior) although not at all sure about Danes wearing woad...
hock:
And Paul Giamatti is a fabulous, revolting King John.
Nice viewing for a long, wet and boring Saturday afternoon...but perhaps not for children under 15 as the mutilations are very graphic.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
