    Splendidly spectacular, intelligent and very well-acted.

    Ledger is a charismatic, conflicted hero who internalizes his character's shame and anguish to powerful effect. Wes Bentley is similarly strong as Ledger's best friend turned romantic rival, and Kapur makes the most of Africa's breathtaking desert, crafting a gorgeous spectacle that's at once stately and hyper-real.
  3. It's a pretty compelling yarn, not to mention full of pretty pictures, and yet it could be so much more than that.
  4. 38
    Because this Four Feathers is an utter botch, it might make savvy viewers feel that the subject matter is hopeless.
