One of the best films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2005)

One of my top 10 favorite films. I wish more stories could be told as well as this. You would think that more attention could be made to the classics for a source of movie making rather then the copying of 70s TV shows and the endless grasping for the tag-along audience with each sequel. The casting was perfect. It's as if Sean Connery was born to play this part and Caine does his wise-guy buddy bit perfect.
The sense of the high and mighty English(Westerner) waltzing through the middle east as if they were Gods is strangely similar to what we see on the news each night. It seems like the English will never learn from the past and the Americans will continue to convince themselves that the rest of the world must suck without their benevolent control.
