Great acting from a talented cast and some lovely scenic vistas make 'The Mission' a well made looking period piece. It's a shame that little of note really happens in the film aside from montages, dramatic posturing, and interruption from an Oscar-bait happy score by Ennio Morricone.

Spectacular performances from Jeremy Irons and Robert De Niro. Location and cinematography were effective. Message was vital but as a film, it was not as entertaining. Score was effective though the pace was sluggish. The Mission is a descent watch whose topics of redemption and slave trading were emphasized.

Recently saw this at a screening. James Horner dedicated this to fellow composer Ennio Morricone. Good acting by Jeremy Irons. DeNiro's character was also good, but his actions went back and forth too often. Despite the guy next to me who was talking to himself the whole movie it was ok.
