THE ALAMO

Director: John Lee Hancock

Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Dennis Quaid, Jason Patric, Patrick Wilson, Emilio Echevarria

Rating: PG-13, for sustained intense battle sequences

Running time: 136 minutes

You'll come away with quite a history lesson from John Lee Hancock's "The Alamo," which generally delivers the goods as entertainment without becoming a stuffy classroom project.
