Michael Mann brings his shimmering, high-octane style to this visually dazzling adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper’s classic adventure novel, in which a Mohican-raised Englishman (Daniel Day-Lewis) navigates conflicting loyalties during the eighteenth-century colonial wars. While it may take its share of liberties with the source material, the combination of Mann’s stunningly stylized action sequences and the meticulously recreated historical setting yields scintillating cinematic spectacle brimming with epic drama and exhilarating romance.
