DROWNED
The Man with No Name (1953) was a perfect adaptation of the book.
This time round it needed to be even more tense and spectacular to surpass it.
However, despite a good cast, it was foggy like pea-soup.
Colin Firth must have taken this when he was feeling sad or something. He, surprisingly, is the weakest link and casts a stuffy pall over the whole film. He sleepwalks through and there's very little of his winsome charm to be seen.
The token love story is shocking and hardly gets off the ground. Unfortunately Firth's stilted acting blocks the needed fire to create a wartime romance bending under time and danger.
Watch the original and wonder what could have been. - myblacksmile_minnie - 12 September 2023
Enjoyable watch for the history nerds
Am I missing something? Why is everyone saying this movie too long/boring in the comments? This movie is so funny and enjoyable (apart from the unnecessary drawn out romance, that is).
The way I howled when I see Mr. Knightley on screen!!! I had known that both Darcy would be in it but not Knightley also 😂 Matthew again play a socially anxious hero longingly looking at a love interest. And Colin, again, ended up getting the girl.
Honestly, How is Colin so hot? That man is 61 in this movie for god's sake!! Matthew looks hotter in here with a moustache than he is in Pride and Prejudice (2005), fight me!
