A cinematic achievement

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2004)

The Mission is a film that stands out.
It is a very good film, and what I like about it is the fact that it there is so much power in it, of emotions and characters that it is displayed brilliantly mild.
You get fanatic imperialists who will stop at nothing to get what they want, oppressed locals with nothing to lose, a dedicated priest who puts the work of god above all, and a born fighter and rebel who even though tries to supress it he cannot escape what he really is.
All these characters blend in a very emotional and powerful film that has a lot to tell.
