The Last of the Mohicans

Director Michael Mann delivered his first masterpiece with this riveting drama set during the French and Indian War where the British fought the French and the Indians for their territories that later become the United States. A white man raised by the last of the Mohicans falls in love with the daughter of a British Colonel that leads them through the war infested lands. Daniel Day-Lewis transformed and established himself as one of the greatest actors alive after his 180 degree turn from his previous award-winning role in "My Left Foot." Beautifully written and directed with stellar cast and crew make this film a timeless classic. The cast also includes a never better Madeleine Stowe and a menacing Wes Studi as well as Russel Means, Jodhi May and Eric Schweig. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
