The Last of the Mohicans [Region Free] - Region B Blu-ray

Michael Mann takes real time to move all the pieces into place, too, setting up the motivations of characters on both sides of the story, before motoring up to a near dialogue-less extended sequence near the end of the film that you’ll likely never tire of watching. Accompanied by a glorious score from Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman, The Last Of The Mohicans often looks and sounds wonderful.

It’s a film that hasn’t aged, either, and the Blu-ray release, complete with a few minor changes from director Michael Mann, presents it beautifully. It’s interesting that, post-The Last Of The Mohicans, Daniel Day Lewis chose not to pursue another action role, as he brings far more authority to the character than most could have managed. But if this is to be his only entry into the genre, then it’s an inspired one. The Last Of The Mohicans was and is terrific cinema. --Jon Foster
