Michael Mann and Daniel Day-Lewis left their comfort zones for this historical adventure adap.
Miami Vice urbanite Mann camped in the woods to recreate 18th-Century America’s wilderness in immersive, dirty detail, while Day-Lewis slams the action with Method gusto between his prestige roles in My Left Foot and The Age Of Innocence.
You can taste the testosterone but Madeleine Stowe is a forthright heroine and Mann’s strapping direction is enough to rouse your inner Iron John.
