Movie Reviews of For Queen and Country
Movie Review: Denzel fan here...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you appreciate Denzel's greatness as an actor, you should enjoy this film as I did. It's old, but it's a good story with great acting. It's also neat to see a young Denzel that I never knew existed. He was just as talented in this early film, as he has been in all of his films. Worth getting a copy for the collection...
Summary of For Queen and Country
Oscar?(r) winner* Denzel Washington is "amazing" (Village View) as a decorated veteran who hangs up his guns for civilian life only to discover that his return home will force him intoan unexpected call to arms. Full of "gritty realism" (Los Angeles Times), this "impressive picture" (Variety) is a "well-made thriller, with an ending that is as unnerving as it is believable" (Village View)! When war hero Reuben James (Washington) returns home, he is shocked to find his neighborhood besieged by crime, drugs and police corruption. Feeling betrayed byhis country and frustrated by the lack of work, Reuben becomes an emotional time bomb ready to explode. And when his best friend is brutally murdered, this once dutiful soldier turns into a mercilessvigilante hellbent on change at any cost! *2001: Actor, Training Day; 1989: Supporting Actor, GloryDenzel Washington adopts a British accent for the grim if compelling, 1989 social drama, For Queen and Country. Akin in mood and story to several American films (notably Rolling Thunder) about Vietnam veterans who return home to face indifference or hostility, For Queen and Country stars Washington as paratrooper Reuben James, a decorated veteran of the Falklands war and Britain's occupation of Northern Ireland. Returning to civilian life in the early '80s, Reuben discovers Thatcher's England (specifically London's East End) to be an intensely racist, violent ground for class warfare, crime, and drugs. Unable to find work, hassled by white cops, pressured by old mates to run afoul of the law, and rejected by a woman (Amanda Redman) who sees him as another product of a cruel and bloody era, Reuben's hope diminishes despite efforts to do the right thing. The downbeat, predictable drama is elevated by Washington's charismatic performance. --Tom Keogh
