Enjoyable, but no classic
THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, based on an old novel by James Fenimore Cooper, is a mildly diverting historical adventure romp that benefits from a big budget, some splendid visuals and an exploration of a lesser known part of America’s history. Unfortunately, I found I didn’t enjoy it as much as I’d hoped, mainly thanks to the director’s attempts at po-faced grandeur and the overlong running time that makes some parts feel repetitive despite the engaging characters.

On the plus side we have a typically winning performance from Daniel Day-Lewis as the noble hero and a frightening Wes Studi (GERONIMO: AN American LEGEND) playing the vicious enemy. Madeleine Stowe looks fine in period gear, and the beautiful scenics are played to the hilt. There are a handful of great action sequences thrown in along the way, and the climax is as gripping as they come. But at other times the worthiness becomes dull, and this doesn’t have the same kind of quality as something like THERE WILL BE BLOOD or even the star’s GANGS OF NEW YORK.Read More
