Review of ‘The Alamo’ starring Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston
When The Alamo is good, it is very good. The battle scenes are terrifically and terrifyingly stages. The characters are well drawn and memorable, and the storytelling is smart and interesting (for a change we have a film that doesn't venture to insult the intelligence of the average twelve year). When it isn't quite so good, it is still okay, it just feels a bit slow and uneven.
