Product Description

Amazon.ca

The seventh filming of A.E.W. Mason's classic 1902 novel, this near-epic production of The Four Feathers looks great, sounds great, and feels rather average. It would be difficult to diminish the rousing adventure of Mason's novel, and director Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) certainly gets more bang for his buck, with massive battle scenes and rugged, sun-baked harshness enhanced by Robert Richardson's masterful cinematography. Kapur preserves the universal appeal of the story, set in the 1880s, in which a promising soldier (Heath Ledger) resigns on the eve of battle in Britain's Sudanese campaign, is labeled a coward by his fiancée (Kate Hudson), and redeems himself by posing as a Muslim warrior to rescue his best friend Jack (Wes Bentley) from certain death in the desert. For all its heroics, however, the film seems oddly passionless; Djimon Hounsou is excellent as Ledger's desert guardian, but these young Hollywood stars lack the authenticity of Zoltan Korda's 1939 film, which remains the definitive version. --Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars Playing fields of Eton redux Oct 12 2008
By Jack Blatant TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
This one is close to reaching epic level, but it really doesn't quite make it. Heath Ledger does a fair job, but one of the problems is that there are a couple of really decent actors who are not given nearly enough scope. One of them is Djimon Honsou, who nearly manages to steal the show anyway. The other is Wes Bentley, who was brilliant in American Beauty but is given absolutely no room to maneuver in a terribly wooden role.

The cinematography in this film is absolutely stunning, and at times the film can approach a truly epic scope, but perhaps a part of the problem is that we are too culturally distant from the values we see expressed, and the director's attempts to bridge that gap are clumsy and awkward. The connection that is drawn between the rugby pitch and the battlefield is rather well done. Enjoyable, but not a must see by any means.

This version, although acceptable, in no way matches the grandeur of the 1939 version dictated by the low price paid at Amazon.ca

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Movie April 21 2009
By Alex
Format:DVD
This movie has a little of everything: Romance, Action, Drama with friendship being the main theme. My wife and I enjoyed this movie very much. Set back, in the time of the "Holy Wars", between England (Catholic Church) & the Middle East. All the actors are great and the photography awesome. Some scenes may be a little dull, but necessary to build up the drama.

Cinematography is wonderful. The story is as the story is - with the usual Hollywood changes, but stays essentially with the book. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, but certainly the glossiest...
Let me start out with this: If you are looking for a movie with Victorian British action, a la Zulu, but with a more modern touch, this is your movie. Read more

This movie moved me to tears on several occassions. The soundtrack is very moving itself - particularly when using surroundsound headphones, which I strongly suggest. Read more
