Excellent, but...

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 1999)

We watched The Mission in our high school history class and was spectacular. The only disappointment was De Niro's conversion from a relentless slave driver to a repentant Jesuit - at that point, I stood back and said, "Yeah right!" It can be a bit hard to follow the first time around, but this is not a movie to be watched only once, I assure you.
