Charming review, Daniel

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 1998)

The combined abilities of Sean Connery and Michael Caine add class and charm to a brilliant story of British courage and greed. It serves well to sum up what was and is good and bad about a tiny nation who once ruled the World. The film is very much a fairy tale deploying a great deal of both humour and action to spin a yarn about 2 ex-soldiers in colonial India who set off in search of treasure and fame and encounter their fair share of difficulties in trying to do so. An absolute classic. 9/10.
