Unspeakably vile! Bad acting, stupid script, ugliness of every sort thrown in your face for four hours. No explanation of anything, with foul language and gratuitous sex used to build up the heroine's street cred as a feminist icon. No thank you!
Now I get that Helen Mirren gets whatever she wants. I imagine that just her name on a contract is enough to greenlight any project. But I don't understand how, after so many years in the business, she could end up putting her name on this garbage. Didn't she have any say at all on the script? Or the director? Who are these guys?
HBO has done so much better than this. Five minutes of any episode of ROME was better than this whole shabby spectacle. And by the way, Pugachev was the real hero -- the Russian Spartacus!
