Interesting but slow

This is quite an interesting story but the execution of it is pretty slow and plodding. The script suffers from too many unfinished sub-plots and the director seems intent on trying to show the inner demons of Brooke's mind rather than tell a good story. As such, there are elements of Heart of Darkness but it is certainly not A Man Who Would Be King or Apocalypse Now. Indeed, it is a rather confusing and drawn-out affair.

Dissappointing

The premise could have lent itself to an incredible movie, but it fell very short. Acting, locations, photography were all excellent but the story was slow and plodding and never really goes anywhere. Could have been so much more.

Interesting blip of colonial history but...

Why do Hollywood-style films always follow the same corrupting boiler-plate model? Here was a chance to really examine an interesting anomaly of British Colonial history in the Far East. Brook's character was certainly more interesting than the portrayal Mr. Meyers summoned with occasional Shakespearean oration. The supporting cast were forced to play along, it seemed, with his inability to convey complexity. The insertion of romantic elements didn't help. It appears we are in an age where having little respect for the value of history as it has been documented is just fine.

Forget the Film Academics

We don't take the script apart or delve into what the director did or didn't do.

Did my wife and I find this film entertaining? Yes Did we enjoy it? Yes That's it, end of!! We vote 7/10.

CONFUSING

Seems like whoever directed this movie had somewhere else to be with its fast pacing and discombobulated scene to scene organization...even at just a few minutes shy of 2 hours, it is still felt so rushed and inadequately put together.
