There are a handful of great action sequences thrown in along the way, and the climax is as gripping as they come. Madeleine Stowe looks fine in period gear, and the beautiful scenics are played to the hilt. 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. ![]() 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. 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. ![]() ![]() Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 6 / 10 Enjoyable, but no classic
