Look, this is no action-thriller. But it is by far one of the greatest film I've ever seen, and way better than any other action-thriller! Why do people have to be so naive, and behave like kids? Why can't they realize that EVERYTHING about this film is superb, extraordinary and well done. It deserves Oscars, although it will never get one in Hollywood. The acting (especially the Hawaiian lead warrior and the missionary who risked his life) was at it's finest, the camera-work, cinematography and directing couldn't have gotten any better. To summon things up = it was just a beautiful movie! And usually I would have said that people can think whatever they want about movies, but to think this is boring and undeserving of it's acclaim is just plain stupid. This is one of my all time favorite movies and I can watch it a hundred times more, and still not get bored (I won't really do that) because I understand the meaning of this film. It's about two things: 1. God and 2. Forgiveness It's simple really, but the way everything is put together is just remarkable. So please watch this magnificent film, but not with low hopes. And don't prove yourself stupid, by going around saying that it's boring or the acting is bad, 'cause it's not!
