Roland Joffé, UK, 19862 out of 4 stars
Total “historical epic” schlock, with corny dialogue, dumbed-down history, and all. Politically, this whole notion that there were some virtuous white colonizers that would have done the missions in a nice way is just galling, but even if you don’t agree or don’t care, the film still sucks for the above reasons. At least in this film, Robert De Niro gives no hint as to why he is so well-regarded, whereas Jeremy Irons is at least respectable.
