Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office loss and middling reviews (41% on Rotten Tomatoes), it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics, action fans and history buffs. If you loved The Last of the Mohicans or 1917, start here.
The mood
Intense, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 12 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.

A young British officer resigns his post when he learns of his regiment's plan to ship out to the Sudan for the conflict with the Mahdi. His friends and fiancée send him four white feathers as symbols of what they view as his cowardice. To redeem his honor, he disguises himself as an Arab and secretly saves their lives.
