Review of Highlander (1986) by Colin S — 01 Aug 2016
Dated now, with some cracks around the edges, but this is such a superb example of a great idea that becomes a well-executed movie. Lambert is raw and inexperienced here but it serves him well - some of the moments where he lives in MacLeod's ennui are expressed so very well.
The fighting is largely excellent as well, and the whole narrative is dusted lightly with magnificent social commentary (the opening sequence of Scottish clan wars up against modern-day wrestling is of particular note).
Brown is of course amazing in this breakout role for him.
