great

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2009)

Zulu is a successful war film which is well known - a sequel was made over 15 years later. It is a great story based on the defence of an outpost by a small number of soldiers against thousands of zulus. the film is well made with its strong characters, screenplay, portrayal of military tactics like the zulu indimitating chants from miles away and rousing music. the film is visually strong too. Zulu has a great cast portraying the heroism and the acting is good. the film stars jack hawkins as the reverend and stanley baker and michael caine play heroic soldiers from the era. the film is significant as one of michael caine's first roles. also the music score is very good as composed with loud war like sounds by the top producer john barry
