In my opinion, The Four Feathers deserved a better fare. While not a classic, this film is one of the few adventurous historical epics made in the last decade that really tried to do something with that worn out genre.... Full review

This movie is dreadful. The acting is uninspired and mediocre at best. The stoey line is predictable and drawn out. the only emotion I felt from this movie was boredom and I love Kate Hudson.... Full review

This film was good, but not great. It moved too quickly in the beginning waiting for character development later in the film. At times the film also felt quite oppresive. Amazing acting from Heath Ledger and whoever Wes Bentley is. Overall... Full review
The 1939 version of The Four Feathers remains one of the best movies ever made, even 70 years on from its release. It seems strange that this particular story should see cinematic light once again in 2002 – grand, colonial... Full review

Djimon Hounsou, especially, gives a very strong performance as the noble warrior. The script wanders back and forth a bit and some of the cuts were a little abrupt, but the story is strong enough to carry the day. ... Full Review

Alex Field ( Relevant Magazine ) writes, "The viewer is immediately engaged from the opening frames because the film is so visually stunning with its sandscapes, sunsets and stirring slow motion action sequences. You could argue that this makes him perfect for the hero, the rebel soul, except that he doesn't look rebellious ... Full Review

Feversham's best friend and fellow officer Jack Durrance (Wes Bentley) in response presents him with a white feather (a symbol of cowardice), and two of his classmates follow suit. His initial attempts to pose as an Arab are not especially convincing, but he makes friends with Abou Fatma (Djimon Hounsou), a local sympathetic with the British cause who proves to be a valuable source of insider information and advice on how to blend with the rebels. ...

getting celebrated in films and novels....The illogic of the tale itself has grounds in cultural fantasies of dominion and rectitude, amply embodied here by Harry, his soldier pals....the film's most eloquent illustration....the imperial project's fundamental viciousness and ignorance....While he was not the dancer with his hands on her (that was the white guy), Hounsou's performance was the memorable one..... ...
