Connery and Caine in an adventure of a lifetime

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2011)

Rudyard Kipling is a correspondent at the offices of the Northern Star newspaper.Then unrecognizable Peachy Carnehan enters and tells his story.Kipling has met Peachy and his friend, Daniel Dravot in the past.He tells how they traveled to remote Kafiristan, how Danny became a god and how they lost everything.The Man Who Would Be King (1975) is a John Huston classic.It's based on Rudyard Kipling's short story.Sean Connery and Michael Caine are perfect as Danny and Peachy.They both represent the British gentleman type, and they both have an enormous amount of charisma.Christopher Plummer does great work as Kipling.Saeed Jaffrey is terrific as Billy Fish.Moroccan actor Doghmi Larbi is great as Ootah.Michael's wife Shakira Caine is amazing as Roxanne, the woman Danny wants.I saw the film two days ago on Tuesday.I had seen it once before.It's a great adventure movie, that has got some drama and some comedy as well.A great scene is where they're about to be robbed but they're wiser than them, and get their three mules.And their survival story in the cold mountains is amazing to watch.And the battle scenes look amazing.If you're looking for a perfect adventure movie, this is your pick.
