Not really what I expected. More of a love story than a military movie. The acting was ok. The biggest flaw was you never really got an in depth understanding of the characters they were supposedly portraying. It made Napoleon out to be a man with many reservations about himself and not the great military leader history said he was. The movie was also kind of all over the place at times and left you wanting to know more about that current scene. It was just an odd movie overall really.
