Absolutely Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 1999)

This is a great film! It has action, drama and comedy and achieves a perfect blend. It's a story about 2 soldiers of fortune who go into the wilds of Kafaristan to conquer the land for themselves. They make the people believe that Connery is god and reincarnation of Alexander the Great. Of course this makes Connery over-confident and he tells Caine that he does not want to leave the land. The ending is truly great and ironic. Sad and full of hope at the same time.It almost made me cry. Connery and Caine have great chemistry and I wonder why they never had another pairing in a movie, which is a truly pitiful.
This movie is a true classic worthy of being seen again again. I give it a 10 out of 10
