The slave galley scene was well done with James Cosmo taking charge but the chariot race stretched credibility. Most of the characters looked like Jesus Christ so the screenplay did get confusing but the wardrobe team did a good job throughout.
Willis acts like a concrete post which leaves Denzel and Annette to get you through a standard hostage actioner. There are some street scenes used on location to add interest though.
It would really help to be a fan of Jonah Hill (who looks like a barrel on 2 legs) to enjoy this one – when he's on screen there is not much room for anything else.
