This dog of a movie confirms that in 1836 Texas was stolen from Mexico by a bunch of opportunistic bastards whose descendants went on to use similarly underhanded methods to steal the office of the White House in 2000.

There are great moments, though it's ultimately a lightweight film and certainly not an Oscar contender.
Com exceção das performances de Thornton e Quaid, o filme traz caracterizações estereotipadas e freqüentemente se entrega ao sentimentalismo barato.

In spite of two great performances, this is a muddled affair.
Sluggish, talky and unfocused, its downbeat revisionism robbing its historical figures of the iconic status that would have made their story worth retelling.
Remembering this Alamo is a lot easier with the fiddle in the capable hands of Billy Bob.
This film is mainly for people who are interested in history, not entertainment.
For much of the time, it's a desultory tour through period movie hell, complete with carefully aged costumes and cement-like chunks of exposition.
