Named in reference to a time of political turmoil long ago in the days of Caesar (the last days of Caesar), this movie is packed with the same tumultuous drama as I expected. An excellent movie though and through, and gripping to the very end (the very last scene gave me goosebumps and was acted and shot quite chillingly). I would not recommend this movie to anyone who is not politically literate and uninterested in politics. This movie is politics politics politics. I love the game that we call democracy though so I had a lovely time watching this intellectually stirring movie. This movie is about commitment, about achieving the ends by any means necessary, almost Malcom-Xish without the violent protests and Islamic conversion. It was definitely a nice change from the long and tawdry list of fantasy movies I've been watching recently. But don't worry, they will return. Definitely pick this one up if you can, it definitely won't be a waste of time.
