Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Although handsomely mounted, and boasting some historically immaculate dressing and impressive battle sequences, it's a movie that ultimately can't convincingly get behind the idea of sacrifice.

rotten:
With the notable exception of Thornton's Crockett, none of these characters engages you.

Absorbing yet ever-so-slightly jaundiced retelling.

fresh:
Thanks to the skills of director and co-screenwriter John Lee Hancock and a deep cast of reliable veterans, this is an authentic and rousing version of the most famous battle in Texas history.

rotten:
It's dull, talky, and sometimes maudlin.
