Michael Mann has directed, in my opinion, one of the great pieces of early American literature and turned it into a very believable and exciting film, staring Daniel Day Lewis, and supported by an excellent cast of Native Americans and characters from the original JF Cooper story. Everything about this film is first class, including the performance of Wes Studi as the twisted Magua, and Steven Waddington as the British major who damages his own honor for love, only to have it restored in the end at the greatest of costs. The scenery in this movie is exquisite, i think having been filmed in the Hudson River valley, where I believe is the setting for Coopers book. if you like American history, and a great story, you need to watch this movie. Last but not least, the Musical score is the icing on the cake as the music is so well matched to the era, that it makes you fell as though your watching an event as it happens over 250 years ago. It is, in my opinion, one of the best movies ever made.

I Love This Movie Great Action, Great Story. I Saw It On Sale.

Perhaps the most significant and remarkable difference between the original 1936 version and this 1992 re-make of the classic James Fenimore Cooper adventure tale are not the variables found in all remakes such as modern film making techniques, etc. You naturally expect the basic story to remain intact but to reflect the screenwriter's nuanced interpretation in presenting his view of the author's work The basic story remains the same although there are differences in what is emphasized for dramatic effect. The most striking difference you will find is in the emotionally powerful and beautiful musical score under the direction of Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman. The music dominates the mood of any film and its naturally dramatic effect on the 'emotional feel' of the entire film. You are in for a treat with this satisfying rendition of 'The Last of the Mohicans'!

In my opinion, The Last of the Mohicans is one of the finest movie ever made. The director's cut lets us see the film how the director, Michael Mann intended it to be seen instead of what the studio decided the film should be. Mann did an excellent job directing the non-stop action of the novel by James Fenimore Cooper. Daniel Day-Lewis shines and, as usual, is a delight to watch. He is one of the finest acters of our generation. From the script to the finished product, this version of the film is fantastic!!

The last of the Mohicans director's definitive cut blu ray five stars This may not be the best Hollywood film of the nineties but certainly is right up there with the best of them. Michael Mann and Cameron Crowe adapting the James Fenimore Cooper classic to the screen with Dante Spinotti behind cameras made a film that looks and hears like anything else. The highest recommendations. A must see film.
