Movie Reviews of Guns at Batasi
Movie Review: Carry on...
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked this film and every single actor in it did a bang-up job! It was exciting, suspenseful, humorous, beautifully filmed (don't fail to listen to the commentary which will surprise you), well conceived and written. It deserved wider recognition in the US. Attenborough was absolutely, as commented, "spot on".
A great example of British filmmaking. For more, see the British War Collection...and especially "The Dam Busters". A definite 4.5 stars!
Summary of Guns at Batasi
Two-time Oscar? winner Richard Attenborough (1982 Best Director and Best Picture, Ghandi) stars as a dedicated British soldier caught in the midst of a revolution in Africa in this compelling war drama. Co-starring Mia Farrow (in her film debut), Guns at Batasi is an ?intriguing, thought-provoking? (Hollywood Citizen-News) and ?rousing tale!? (The New Yorker)When the head of the British military in Africa is instructed to turn over command to the native militia, he defies orders and arms himself and his followers with a cache of weapons. When Regimental Sergeant Major Lauderdale (Attenborough) learns of this defiance, he springs into action with all the authority at his command, knowing full well that he?s the only thing that stands between order?and massacre!
