Movie Haiku:Russell Crowe burns up the screen as a Roman general ousted in a succession battle & sold into slavery. His family is murdered, his property is confiscated, & he lives only for revenge. Director Ridley Scott uses the special effects wizards to recreate the Coliseum’s infamously decadent “bread & circuses.”
