See more Frances H 05/18/2021 Although it has good production values and cast struggles well to try to bring it to life, a classic film it's not! See more @Ollie1972 04/15/2021 Harry Faversham (Heath Ledger), a young British officer completing his training, celebrates his engagement to Ethne (Kate Hudson), in a ball with his fellow officers and father. When the Colonel announces that the regiment is being dispatched to Egyptian-ruled Sudan to rescue the British General Charles "Chinese" Gordon, young Faversham has serious ethical reservations about the war, and resigns his commission. Harry's father disowns him. Perceiving his resignation as cowardice, three of his friends and his fiancée each give him a white feather, the symbol of cowardice. Ethne breaks off their engagement. Harry learns that his best friend Jack (Wes Bentley) and his former regiment have come under attack by rebels. Undertaking the perilous journey into the Sudan alone, he strikes up an alliance with Abou Fatma, a mercenary warrior. Harry disguises himself as an Arab. Harry and Abou Fatma follow a group of army workers he believes to be Mahdi spies, and reach the garrison of Abu-Klea, which they realise has been overrun. Harry begs Abou Fatma to warn his friends that their destination is under siege and an attack is likely... This version of "The Four Feathers", with altered plot events, is the latest in a long line of cinematic adaptations of the 1902 novel "The Four Feathers" by A.E.W. Mason. I agree to what Rotten Tomatoes says, "Though beautiful to look at, The Four Feathers lacks epic excitement and suffers from an ambivalent viewpoint." This film tries to be something like the epic "Zulu" (1964), but fails due to a weak cast, weak dialogue and a silly framestory shot in a overdramatic way. Trivia: This is the sixth film version of the source novel. The first was Four Feathers (1915). See more 03/31/2021 Entertaining and fun to watch. Djimon Hounsou is great as always... Heath was amazing too... See more Read all reviews
