Tom Clancy. Harrison Ford in his heyday. Free on Amazon Prime. What’s not to like? Take a trip back a few decades to a world a little more sane. A narrative not preachy, not edgy, and completely devoid of the nihilism that seems to have taken up permanent residence in today’s Hollywood.
Daniel Day-Lewis brings a very human dimension to his iconic portrait of Lincoln. He is a tender, and perhaps even an indulgent father, a long suffering husband contending with a neurotic wife, and still a willful and wily politician using all the tricks to achieve a noble purpose.
Though I can’t quite echo the hyperbolic praise lavished on this film, it is, nevertheless, a superb character study that is powerful, well crafted, and subtle. The amoral misanthrope at its center is complex, yet as elemental as the harsh landscape that cradles his beloved black gold.
The title says it all. Finally, some overdue respect for the iconic sleuth. And it's about time. He is 93 years old in this latest Holmes saga.
