Ridley Scott is acclaimed as a man of grandeur. To some extent, the film is in the lineup of his previous creation, but it fails to take off. Rashomon style of storytelling makes it interesting, but it lacks the effects of the drama. It feels like Ridley Scott tries giving a modern interpretation (#metoo) of the real historical incidents so as to make it an Oscar-bait movie. Although, the film is a good watch and can generate healthy debate.
