Plot; The white adopted son of a Mohican Chief and the daughter of a British Colonel fall in love against the backdrop of the French and Indian War.Walking a very fine line between historical drama and overheated melodrama, The Last of the Mohicans never quite excels at either. Nevertheless, it's reasonably compelling thanks to top shelf performances from its cast, an epic score by Trevor Jones (with a late game assist by Randy Edelman) and the steady hand of director Michael Mann.

This is a contemporary version of an age old American classic. We have the standard James Fennimore Cooper novel with Hawkeye and Chingachgook. A group of pioneer women are kidnapped from a fort in upstate New York. The Mohicans are an incredibly violent tribe. The settlers are slowly being massacred because they pose a threat to the indigenous people. Hawkeye and his Indian partner are given the task of keeping people safe. They are wise to the way things operate. This is one of the most violent films I've seen. Daniel Day Lewis plays the famous woodsman. Over the edge interpretation of a signature book. However, not for the squeamish.

Plot In A Paragraph: Three trappers protect a British Colonel's daughters in the midst of the French and Indian War.I think this is a fantastic watch, but I have watched last of the Mohicans three times now, and every time I watch it, it seems to be a different movie.I first seen it in when I rented the video in the early 90's and I loved it. I never rewatched it, until I bought the DVD in the 2000's and I felt like I was watching a totally different version of the movie, and it lost something for me. And here in 2016, watching a bluray I have borrowed from a friend, I again feel like I am watching a different movie to the one I viewed in the last two decades. Pacing, editing, tone, score, dialogue and at times acting seems totally different to how I remember. It's still a great movie, filled with some fantastic performances, a great use of scenery and colours and truthfully whilst she has been hotter in other movies (Stakeout being my personal favourite) I don't think Madeline Stowe has been better. Daniel Day Lewis is superb in almost everything, however I have always hated his "I will find you" Speech. Don't know why lol Last Of The Mohicans was Maans first big directorial hit, bagging Oscar nominations and finishing the year the 17th Highest Grossing movie of 1992 with a domestic gross of $75 million.
