Netflix Mohawk - don't bother
« on: November 27, 2018, 05:43:02 PM »
I watched the Netflix Mohawk film - two hours I'll never get back.  :(  I was drawn in by the warpaint, quite nice. I wasn't put off by the Yanks being the bad guys, but the directing, acting, plot and historical color didn't cut it. The bad guys are one-dimensional, and so are the Mohawks and their British officer-agent friend/lover. A menage a trois is chased through the woods by a squad led by a psychopath. Lots of gore, if that floats your boat. Spoiler: early on, the US colonel is killed. The ultimate bad-guy captain takes over, telling his small squad that he just got promoted and they should now call him colonel. Right. I find it hard to stop watching a film once begun, and have watched a number I should have quit on. This was one of them. Your mileage may vary. But don't say I didn't warn you.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

I just had to check this out last night.I lasted 20 minutes (It wasn't easy) until the captain promoted himself.One thing this proves is that making a movie is truly an art.My all time favorite movie is Last of the Mohicans and I had to put this on for about a half hour to get the taste of Mohawk out of my eyes and ears.  :o lol

That would be Jason Momoa. I quite like it and you can get a lot of ideas for skirmish games.
