I can't believe anybody would even attempt to pass this crap off as film-making, as it more closely resembles one man's obsession with dumping $110,000 down the toilet. There are definitely more "honorable" ways to spend money, such as funding a heroin addiction or indulging in hundreds and hundreds of lap dances. I don't even remember the film having a coherent plot, nor the actors being able to carry the movie past the opening frames...in fact, I won't even dignify the actors' performances by using their names. The lead actor gives what can only be described as an affecting performance...and by that I mean he induces coma. The lead actress is fairly easy on the eyes, but still manages to make you cringe with every line of dialogue or her "deer in headlights" facial expressions. Please watch at your own risk.

I cannot begin to describe what this series has meant to me over the years. As a child it, captured my imagination and has once again managed to do so as I am now on the verge of adulthood. The movie has a legion of fans, and a legion of critics. In my opinion, those who throw heavy criticism at this movie are without any semblance of an imagination.

The life of an immortal, Connor Macleod, is shown in flashbacks from the time of his initiation (as an immortal. The movie travels back in forth from present day New York (1985) to the Highlands of Scottland and French countryside. The story may have be an attempt to show the then modern special effects capabilites, but the true reason to watch comes from the story. Christopher Lambert shows both the joy and pain of immortality. Sean Connery gives a memorable performance in the film, as he so often does. The villainous Kurgan, played by Clancy Brown, is frightening yet at the same time quite funny. The movie seems at first to be blatent 80's nostalgia, but begins to show the timeless qualities that make this movie great sixteen years after it's release. To those who wish to watch this movie I suggest that you not analyze, just...enjoy.

Congratulations to Denzel Washington on his Oscar for best actor. His performance really moves the film. I'm glad to see the capabilities of such a gifted actor. I hope to see Denzel show his ruthless side in the future, I loved it!
