Amazing storyline but the ending too graphic fof me. More of a psychological thriller than a horror film but A plus acting.

Beautiful movie. Actors well cast, storyline sad but redemptive.

The writers failed on this movie. We learned little about Napolean other than a few disgusting things about his sex life and his relationship with Josephine. Tha violence I expected but not the graphic sex as they could have let us know more about the relationship with his wife without those scenes which seemed to be added just to get an R rating or to distract from the lack of a plot to the movie. The acting by the main characters was decent but there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the story line, so they had little to work with. The audio was poor. Hard to even hear the dialogue. But most disappointing was I expected this movie to be historically accurate plus teach me about the life of Napolean. I left feeling the movie had no real point, proving nothing except many men died during the battles he led. The one positive thing I can say is the costumes he wore were impressive and Phoenix wore them well. This movie could have become a historical masterpiece but it didn't even come close.

I absolutely loved this movie. Not for children to see because of nudity plus some mild sexual content. But it was needed for the story to be realistic and as a Christian I was not actually offended. It showed that no matter how broken we are, God is still in the restoration business. And it also shows the power of love. The acting was amazing and even the scenery was beautiful. I’m not a fan of Westerns but found it nice that it showed the good and bad of people who migrated out West without taking a lot of time on Western themes. It’s a story with romance and hope, and restoration. Beautiful movie.
