Victory with Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.
When I first saw the title along with one of my favorite actors, I thought that it would be an adventure film with plenty of action. Boy was I wrong. This movie is so slow and action free that I found myself slapping my face to keep awake during its way too long running time. Dafoe does his best to save this debacle, but he does not have much to work with.
I also liked Sam
Neill in Jurassic Park, but, as a gay evil man, he was sorely miscast. The movie takes such a negative outlook on life that I wish I had the writer’s neck in my hands to show them their just deserts.
The movie takes place in 1913 on a sparsely populated island in the Pacific. Dafoe is a self imposed hermit who lives by his father’s words that, The world is a bad dog who will bite you if you give it a chance.
