Abysmal - Legend of the Soldier review by Alphaville
Disastrous attempt to make a film about a Spanish hero (Bruc – the film’s Spanish title) on the run from Napoleon’s army. There’s no plot or characters of interest and an over-reliance on rapidly-edited close-ups soon palls. The wobbly camerawork even makes you want to look away from the screen, as when the camera is placed on the tip of an artists’ brush as he’s sketching. It’s a major production with some stunning mountain scenery and one standout scene where a manhunt ends on a precipice, but overall the amateurish direction makes it a yawn-fest. The Making Of feature on the DVD Xtras is more interesting.
