Certainly not the best film on the subject, lacking genuine pathos (everything feels overly melodramatic and contrived), and somewhat clumsy in its defense of idealistic values (the enthusiasm for the idea of building a new homeland or promised land). The pacing is not always clear (constantly shifting scenarios, a narrative lacking in strength). On the positive side, the British production can be seen as a somewhat pedantic attempt to reconstruct a crucial historical period with attention to historical dynamics (alliances, troop movements, and the inevitable sadism of war looming in the background).
Not everything is to be discarded, though. However, Pacino's involvement seems purely a paycheck role and is certainly not one of his most memorable performances.
For fans of historical adventure, though, it remains a viewing option worth considering.
