There are some movies that we always return to. A cinematic warm hug that however we’re feeling can’t help but raise a smile and just in time for the bitterness of Winter, one of the best feel-good movies out there has landed onAmazon Prime Video.
Ledger plays Will, a lowly squire with a natural gift for jousting, but lacks the noble blood to be allowed to compete. After seizing an opportunity to compete, he finds himself impersonating a knight and winding up on the circuit, amongst superstar nobles, the Premier League footballers of the time. As is always the way, this puts a few noses out of joint, not least the dastardly Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell).
It’s a fairly generic setup for what is actually a pretty silly movie. This is no period drama. Crowds sing Queen songs and the soundtrack is full of unlikely rock classics (ACDC, Eric Clapton, Bowie and more). It helps having Alan Tudyk, and Mark Addy, two brilliant comedic actors, in supporting roles.
In the writer/director’s chair is a man with plenty of pedigree. Brian Helgeland also directed the Kray twins biopicLegendbut is probably best known as the writer of bothL.A ConfidentialandMystic River, that’s quite the CV.
Rotten Tomatoes is normally a pretty good measure of a movie but the 59% critic score for this film is a travesty all told, and the 79% audience rating is still lower than it should be.
