Review of Gladiator (1992) by Rita Kempley for Washington Post — 17 May 2010
The screenplay, contrived to suit the genre, is likewise replete with stock characters. Still, many of the actors manage to bring dignity, humor and even finesse to these tired roles. Gooding has the angelic good looks of Isiah Thomas and invests Lincoln with courageous sweetness.
It's too bad the part isn't better developed.
