Good example of what film is capable of, but all to often fails to deliver. This movie is educational, and at least as factual as any history ever is.
All history is biased substantially, and those who disagree with the bias of this movie, only have the advancement of bias of their own in mind.
Cromwell was a great man who was pivotal in the history of the world, and the movie does him deserved credit. Without his victory in this Civil War America and the Constitution might never have happened.
It is hard to imagine anyone doing any better job of depicting this history in film.
Most often it is a just a few Catholics who can't let go of the past, who are offended by his militant and strident defense of Protestantism along with his decision to provide sanctuary in England for Jews fleeing persecution and genocide at the hands of Catholics in Spain.
