They don't make them like this anymore...

The Mission is one of my all-time favorite movies. It is quiet, thoughtful, beautiful, and moving.
If you are looking for action, or short-attention-span thrills, don't bother. But if you like movies that are grounded in history and describe the sort of courage and heroism that can be achieved by real people, watch it and enjoy.
