Film Review - Highlander (1986)

Highlander stars Christopher Lambert as Connor Macleod, born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnen in Scotland, he is later cast out after becoming an Immortal and has since wandered through the centuries until 1985 New York City, when another known as the Kurgen (Clancy Brown) and others have come for an event called the Gathering, where in the end, there will be only one.


I really loved Highlander, and the heart and soul of the film is Lambert, who does a great job portraying Connor as a man who is literally world weary, having seen it all with his own eyes and lost his love at the same time, Brown is no slouch as Kurgen and neither is Sean Connery as Ramirez and Roxanne Hart as Brenda, one must also mention the great songs by Queen and the script that actually has the balls to wrap everything up this time around.


4 and a half for Highlander.
