jamesintexas rating: ****
Simply put, one of the greatest action-adventure films of all-time. Emotionally resonant and beautifully shot, Mann's masterpiece features a tour-de-force, visceral performance by the brilliant Daniel Day-Lewis as Hawkeye, adopted son of Chingachgook (Russell Means) and a stirring compliment to that in Madeline Stowe's Cora Munro. The more I watch and study this film, the more I think it is about grief, loss, survival, and the inevitability of time. Mann has crafted something incredibly memorable here, something important and beautiful.
