...started to play with the likes of Mongo Santamaria, Stan Getz and Miles Davis. Moving on to assemble many famed groups (including Circle, Return to Forever, the Elektric Band, the Akoustic Band and Origin) and having played with nearly every jazz great of the modern era (from Herbie Hancock to Gary Burton), Corea’s career reads like a jazz history book. Constantly stretching the limits of his art (and winning 12 Grammys in the process) Corea is undoubtedly one of jazz’s most influential keyboardists and composers...

That line gives a clue to the approach of director John Lee Hancock (The Rookie) and the platoon of writers: they want simultaneously to criticize and celebrate U.S. imperialism. The good intentions and lousy planning of the Alamo's defense make it seem like a 19th century dress rehearsal for Vietnam. A shot of American corpses dangling from a tree has an eerie resemblance to images this month of a bridge in Fallujah, Iraq. But the Alamo massacre is only Act II. Houston's quick victory at the subsequent Battle of San Jacinto seized Texas from Mexican control and allows...
