The Last of the Mohicans has some of the most beautiful scenery ever filmed. It also takes us to the time before the Revolutionary War. That doesn't mean it is boring. This isn't a Merchant-Ivory picture, this is a modern action movie that doesn't slow down once it starts rolling. Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe are thrown into the mix for beauty's sake, and they give strong performances as would-be lovers in a savage wilderness.
Historical inaccuracies pretty much run wild in this picture, but no one really cares because the action is so stirring and the sights are so gorgeous. In fact, the action and cinematography almost make up for the lame story, but not quite. But once again, who watches an action movie for plot?
Unless you are a hard-core historian who gives a rats behind about whether muskets could be used like sniper rifles, you will find The Last of the Mohicans to be a quality action picture.
