Ridley Scott is on fire, and he loves Russel Crowe as he is great in giving the Gritty-Noble protagonists so often used by him. After seeing "Body of Lies" recently, which I premptively wrote off as a moral relatively crapfest which has been all Middle Eastern Movies since 9/11, I'm fully in his corner. If he could make a good movie where so many others have gotten bogged down in their own filth, I would not doubt his ability in this one.
Although I loved Price of Thieves, I would not doubt if this one blows it out of the water in depths of character development and pacing. Regardless of how much you loved it, RB:PoT had a lot of dead parts that should have been edited down for pacing.
