Troy   — 4K 09/12/26

They say You Can’t Go Homer again, but it’s no problem making a slam-bang fantasy Iliad tuned to the star chemistry of Brad Pitt and the new (in 2003) ability to fill the screen with thousands of Greeks battling with sword ‘n’ shield. David Benioff’s script is intelligent and the dialogue isn’t bad; Pitt swings a sword with style while being given a full glamour treatment. The supporting cast is up to the task: Brian Cox, Eric Bana, Sean Bean, Diane Kruger, Saffron Burrows, Rose Byrne, Olando Bloom, Brendan Gleeson and Peter O’Toole, with Julie Christie in for a bit of magic. The 4K is stunning and Wolfgang Petersen’s direction unfussy. On 4K Ultra HD from Arrow Video.
