Alexander

3/10

ALEXANDER (2004). When you finally get enough money to make a film about one of history’s greatest leader/warriors, to produce such a pile of forgettable piffle is such a wasted opportunity. Colin Farrell in a blond wig was always a bad call, and Angelina Jolie’s lips can’t save the day. Oliver Stone lost his mojo several years ago; better to read the trilogy by Mary Renault and use your imagination.
