Review of Lion of the Desert (1981) by Sean C — 26 Jan 2012
Underrated epic war movie on the end of Libya's resistance to Italy. Everything works and best of all the history is not even that far off. Oliver Reed makes for a great villain, combing charisma with a ruthless drive.
The part where the tanks run people over is gruesome and horrifying.
