I suspect you drank the roofie-spiked Coke that you intended for your date, ;) and were just too gorked out to give a damn. Maybe DDL and Stowe don't give the best performances ever, and it does strain credulity that DDL is hitting unseen targets at 200 yards with a smooth bore musket - but still, the overall story being told is spellbinding.

The movie looks totally uninteresting to me, always has. Indians are just the most boring thing of all time. For example, replace the Scots in Braveheart with Indians. Who'd watch it? No one.

That would have been my ex-wife, and if anyone needed a roofie in that relationship, it was me.

But I digress.....

I'm a huge Michael Mann fan, but TLotM was a tremendous misfire.

I didn't think it was jaw-droppingly bad, but it didn't really do it for me on a level that if it was on television and I had been television-deprived for a year, I probably would just skip it and go play badminton. Or something.

It was the first thing Mann did post-Miami Vice. It was, to me, a big let-down.
