Russell Crowe really nailed this film on his part, both acting and directing (such interesting frames and angles, pleasure to the eye and I believe a good material for directors' educating systems). But aside from that I feel that some parts of the film weren't historically accurate, especially the principle of Australians - they were recruited as a former British colony, that's all. And in general, a Russian woman playing Turkish one and speaking with a Russian accent, not Eastern at all - seems kinda unbelievable to my critically obnoxious nature :) But as a fan of Crowe - he's great here, as an actor and director.
This was entertaining. It failed a bit for me in attempting to be a realistic portrayal of what went on in this time period, when the interactions between characters constantly felt like they were out of a Lifetime movie. That said, the story and pacing were good enough to keep me interested throughout. A decent watch if it's readily available. I wouldn't go out of my way for this one.
يالله ياحدس الأب كيف يصدق :(
The beginning was a little sketchy for me but once I got into to, I loved this one!

Not bad but could be better.
