Wolfgang Peterson's epic tells the story of the invasion of Troy by the forces of Greece. The story has heroes on both sides of the war with the honourable Hector (Bana) of Troy who is trying to protect his brother Paris (Bloom) after he steals Menelaus (Gleeson)'s wife.On the side of Greece is Achilles (Pitt) a prize fighter who is rumoured to be immortal. He has no love for his employer Agamemnon (Cox) and only agrees to fight because the warriors will be remembered in centuries to come.
Troy is a film where the war is not just black and white. There are people to root for on both sides. It reminds be of fantasy tales such as David Gemmell's. You see why each character acts like they do. I had heard that Troy was not a good film so It may not be popular to the majority, but if you are a fan of tales where good and evil are more complicated this is a film I recommend.
*****Brilliant
