Review of The Mission (1986) by Tina S — 12 Apr 2015
(59%).
A lesser well known/regarded big sweeping epic of the past 30 years starring a typically on-form Jeremy Irons and Robert DeNiro. This is very much a film that opens much stronger than it ends, with brilliant shots of the deep rainforest and a unfussy plot that does a great job in drawing in interest. Once the mid-section begins to slot into place a lot of the momentum starts to weaken as 18th century politics takes over, but with that said it doesn't ruin the film by any means. Overall this is certainly well made enough and more important interesting enough watch to be worthy of anyone's time.
