Review of Children of Glory (2006) by Michael M — 28 Apr 2008
Well-intentioned and entertaining story of the Hungarian revolution intertwined with the Hungarian Olympic water polo team, but marred by a weak Joe Eszterhas script filled with cliches and some real groaner lines.
The romantic subplot is pretty poor. Most of the actors are way too pretty, but the acting is generally pretty good. The combat scenes looked very staged and Hollywood-ish and were in fact directed by prolific British stunt coordinator, Vic Armstrong.
Has some very nice, classic cinematography at times. The water polo scenes were very well done. A bit disjointed and overlong.
