Review of A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia (1992) by God? — 13 Jul 2006
Fiennes achieves the near-impossible, he outmatches Peter O'Toole's depiction of T.E. Lawrence and goes beyond.
The opening staredown is an anti-ultimatum of shattering power, his words emanating with the clear booming of Fiennes' distinct voice.
What we have, instead of glorious sands, is a battle of politics inside the labyrinth of council chambers as Lawrence battles for Arabia's ownership of Syria. The villains are distinct, yet they follow the law better than Lawrence could ever hope.
What we are left with is a cold, hard, lawless man whose ambitions are nobler than that of those politicians aiming for a future after WWI.
Don't pass it up. It neither rises nor lowers away from the quality of the original Lawrence Of Arabia, but in all honesty, that is a good thing.
