THE ALAMO (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

The Alamo—much better than the John Wayne version—has realism. Billy Bob Thornton’s unique interpretation of Davey Crockett’s character has sincerity. The film’s portrayal could be improved upon and it needs a more elaborate storyline.
