Release Date: October 13, 2006

An epic adventure that follows a young Jewish orphan who rises from peasant to Queen of Persia only to face the annihilation of her people. Esther (Tiffany Dupont) is a nice Jewish girl from ancient Babylon who becomes wife of Xerxes, king of Persia (an area now know as Iran), and prevents the slaughter of her race. (Nice going!). Director Michael O. Sajbel has gathered what is sometimes known as a "cast of thousands," as well as Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif. The cinematography and sets look great, but the script is a bummer. It's overlong, overwrought and overblown.
