Napoleon, back from the island of Elba, had regained power and reconstituted the Grande Armée, which was on the march towards Belgium, where the battle of Waterloo was to take place. Colonel Neuville was summoned by Marshal Ney. Ney entrusted him with a special mission: to go and meet Colonel Reynauld, a renowned royalist who refused to hand over command of his men to the Empire. It was imperative that his men join the Grande Armée. However, beyond their political differences, Neuville and Reynauld are brothers and a strong antagonism separates them. Their duel will be all the more intense for it.

The Worst Film Ever
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
