About this movie

Sweeping and visually resplendent, The Mission is a powerful action epic about a man of the sword (Robert DeNiro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons) who unite to shield a South American Indian tribe from brutal subjugation by 18th-century colonial empires. It reunites key talents behind The Killing Fields: co-producer David Puttnam, director Roland Joffe and cinematographer Chris Menges.

I'm sure it' a wonderful movie, but the audio is too soft in the dialogue. I couldn't understand over half the spoken words in the first 30 minutes.

If De Niro's waterfall scene doesn't immediately make you want to cry, you may not have a heart

Beautiful film; fabulous sweeping score. Timeless story, (unfortunately) greed, jealousy, power. Well done.
