Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe horse that Russell Crowe rides in the scenes shot in Australia is actually his own horse Honey.
- GoofsThe Turks storm the (empty) ANZAC trenches on the 20th December 1915. The movie portrays this as a sunny day with hot weather. In reality snow and frost appeared as far back as November with as many as 16,000 cases of frostbite and exposure reported for November alone.
- Quotes
Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: Yeah, We both know it, but why change everything for one father who can't stay put?
Major Hasan: Because he is the only father who came looking.
- Crazy creditsThe final credit is a congratulatory well done to the South Sydney Rabbitohs Rugby League Football Club winning the NRL Premiership in 2014. Russell Crowe supports, and owns 37.5% of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, which is most likely the reason why the credit was included.

Featured review
Quality, Respectful and Entertaining.
The quality of the acting and the production is first class. It is s well directed movie, hats off to Russell Crowe for his directorial debut. I really enjoyed the fact that the movie showed respect to the cultures depicted and kept things on a level playing field. During the screening it was very clear to me the audience was won over and totally engrossed in the movie, just as I was. Watched allot of movies in 2014, but this one is of a higher standard all round. This movie has the potential to be nominated for awards and any it wins would be well deserving. Special mention to Dylan Georgiades who was a delight to watch in the film. I rated this movie a 9/10, and I hope it is successful as it deserves to be, Russell Crowe has done it again.
