8. Review: Alamo, The (2004)

- Alamo, The (2004).
- The good news first: The Alamo is probably the most historically accurate depiction yet to reach the screen of the famous siege. ... " Emotionally inert and poorly paced, The Alamo transforms one of Texas' best-known events into an uninvolving bore. And, to add a dose of irony to the proceedings, the most compelling elements of the film are those that transpire away from the Alamo. ...
- Following about 30 minutes of establishing material introducing the main characters - General Sam Houston (Dennis Quaid), American legend Davy Crockett (Billy Bob Thornton), knife-happy James Bowie (Jason Patric), and buttoned-down regular army colonel William Barrett Travis (Patrick Wilson) - the siege of the Alamo by the troops of Santa Anna (Emilio Echevarrķa) begins. ...
- The portion of the film that transpires within the Alamo is easily the least interesting element of the movie - at least until Santa Anna's army makes its final push against the Texian defenders. ... The Alamo doesn't come close. ...
- The post-Alamo sequences, which focus on Houston, seem truncated (apparently, nearly an hour of material was trimmed to about 20 minutes), but move quickly and provide a sense of closure to the story. (Ending with the fall of the Alamo would not have been emotionally satisfying. ... One could argue that the center of the movie should have been re-calibrated towards Houston, not the Alamo. ...
- Movies like Glory and Gettysburg prove that it is possible to successfully combine human drama with 19th century battles, but this is a technique that escaped the makers of The Alamo. ... What's left is an uneven production that has occasional moments of high energy (the final attack on the Alamo representing the film's most spectacular 10 minutes), but is mostly mired in banal dialogue, failed character interaction, and familiar melodrama (the friction between the untried Travis and the grizzled Bowie which is eventually defused when Travis proves himself). The events that occurred at the Alamo will be remembered long after this movie is forgotten. ...

- The Alamo.
- "Remember the Alamo!'' cries General Sam Houston (Dennis Quaid), urging his army of ``Texians'' forward to avenge the deaths of the 189 men who fell at the famous San Antonio mission in 1836. That scene comes almost at the end of ``The Alamo,'' John Lee Hancock's new epic telling of the story, and you may be prompted to wonder: Which Alamo are we supposed to be remembering? The incisive, anti-heroic battle of wills the film spends much time setting up? Or the chest-beating paean to Manifest Destiny the film turns into?.
- The real struggle in ``The Alamo'' is between historic revisionism and Hollywood notions of sacrifice, and it's not much of a contest: Hollywood wins, as it did in John Wayne's sprawling, factually spurious 1960 film. ...
- Originally slated for a December 2003 release, ``Alamo'' was held back for extensive recutting, bringing what had been a three-hour epic down to two hours and two minutes.
- Yet pockets of ``The Alamo'' bristle with unexpected vitality, and the casting of Thornton turns out to have been both absurd and inspired. ...
- As played by Jason Patric, Jim Bowie is a belligerent drunk who spends the last half of the film - including the final battle - dying from tuberculosis in the Alamo infirmary. ... Houston is a drunk and an opportunist willing to sacrifice the Alamo for an independent Texas. ...
- Why, then, do we ultimately feel for these men as the 13-day siege comes to a bloody predawn close? Because, as Houston pontificates about nationhood from his position miles away, and as Washington watches uneasily for the fate of the Republic of Texas to be decided, the defenders of the Alamo salvage what meaning they can from their certain death. ...
- It should be noted that Travis's speech is marred by mismatched editing, and that signs of haste and uncertainty pock ``Alamo'' like buckshot. ... The film pauses for the slaves (Afemo Omilami and Edwin Hodge) owned by Bowie and Travis to discuss deserting to free Mexico - that's already more nuance than ``Gods and Generals'' had in its entire four hours - but wades back to the shallow end of the pool for the rushed, recut battle of San Jacinto, at which Houston's Texians defeated Santa Anna six weeks after the Alamo.
- The face of the past - and of a smarter, sadder, more ornery ``Alamo'' that goes down kicking - is that of Thornton's Crockett, a man searching for a frontier that is already vanishing, and searching in the wrong place to boot. ...
