Review of Farewell to the King (1989) by David D — 05 Oct 2008
Somehow this film should have made me care more than it did. Imagine being lost in the jungle in the middle of wartime. Starving, going crazy, and captured by cannibals. Finally, you wind up king of the tribe, and it's the best thing that could have ever happened to you! While Nick Nolte looked the part, his performance failed to inspire as perhaps it should have.
The fault may also lie with the flat, uninspired direction. But at least we have a clue as to where Christian Bale got his Batman voice.
