Just watched this the other night and it prompted me to write up a blog post about it. There is a reason why the film works so well despite being over 30 years old.

People think you need mindless action and heaps of CGI to make a great movie.
Maybe they should watch some Sergio Leone, or watch Breaker Morant to see how it's really done.
There's a little bit of something for everyone in Breaker Morant. It asks questions. Raises issues that are still relevant. There's action, singing, poetry, court room drama, seduction, horses, and Webley Revolvers and Rule .303!
How can it not miss?

And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.
