This movie started losing me in the first five minutes when it offered the idea that those in America were hoping to escape Canada, of all places, so they could maintain their freedom. Still it was early and I still had misguided hope that it would get better. It did not. The movie is simply 2.5 hours of badly edited, poorly directed and mediocre acting that never really gets you where it wants to go. You almost want it to get better because its not a bad premise and it feels like just a little more effort could have made it a good movie, but it just never gets there. If you have about 2.5 hours that you would like to waste, feeling far worse at the end than when you started, this movie will do it for you.

History Ignoring Societal Context
10 September 2023
A poor attempt at rewriting modern views of historical figures in a negative light while completely ignoring what the societal context and norms of their respective ages were. It seems like the attempt here was to eliminate the generally accepted views of Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra, and rewrite them by portraying each of these historical figures in a negative light, while downplaying their historical importance and achievements. As an example, in many cases they speak of their military conquests in terms how violent these leaders were to their enemies, while completely ignoring that their enemies would have been no kinder had they been victorious. It's all ads up to bad attempt to erase the history we know and replace it with a slanted negative view of very well known historical figures. Not worth the time to watch.
