Terrific movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2000)

I have liked this movie since I saw it as a kid on late night TV. Baker and Caine are great, Color Sergeant Bourne is a classic, Hook is a hoot (though the real Hook was a teetotaler, so is libeled), and all the cast is finely realized. Even the Zulus, who dont say a word, have majesty. Plus the singing attack at the end is thrilling. I like this movie so much, I almost bought one of the rifles when I saw it on sale at a pawn shop.
