Dirk Bogarde plays Bruce Campbell, a British aristocrat who has been given only six months to live. Inheriting a financially troubled Canadian valley, Campbell finds a new lease on life as he champions the cause of the local citizenry. He is particually effective in standing up to the eco-unfriendly excesses of contractor Owen Morgan (Stanley Baker), whose ethically-challenged dam project threatens to flood the valley. Methodically paced, Campbell's Kingdom rewards the viewer's patience with an abundance of action highlights, the best of which is reserved for last. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a kind of British Western action adventure set in modern Canada. (Blu-ray edition)
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
For what seems a pretty trite story, it develops some good dramatic action, romance, and interest in the main characters.
