The Last of the Mohicans Reviews

Still too bland for my tastes.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

It's Mann's least Mann-like film, but also arguably his most rousing. The score is incredibly stirring, while it's great to see DDL play the hero.

It nicely blends together action, romance and history.

Mann wasn't thinking story, he was thinking scheme. Keep the eyes and ears dazzled, he reasons, and the substance will follow.
