Sean Connery and Michael Caine at their Finest.

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2000)

This movie is the perfect action/adventure movie. Where as Raiders of the Lost Ark is throwback of shorts. This is the real thing. Directed by John Houston from a Kipling story. You can't get much better than that for a foundation. The pairing of Michael Caine and Sean Connery is simply inspired. They work so well together you are with them at every step. A chilling ending too. This movie sticks with you. You'll be thinking about this long after you're done watching it. And you can always pick out something new when you watch it again. I suggest getting it on DVD. There is a nice featurette on the making of the movie. With some great macho behind the scenes atmosphere.
One of my favorites. If you liked Raiders of the Lost Ark check this one out.
