    Wes Studi is exceptionally brilliant as Geronimo is this revisionist saga. The film has some beautiful cinematography. It is worth watching for those two reasons. Otherwise, the story moves a bit slow. Not the fault of the actors as it appears to be a dull script.

    I can't quite put my finger on what it was about Walter Hill's, Geronimo: An American Legend, that kept this from being an exceptional film. With a cast made up of Wes Studi, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Jason Patric and Matt Damon, beautiful shots of the American Southwest and a...( read more) fairly accurate interpretation of historical events, it came across as being just an okay flick. Maybe I was a bit disconcerted by some of the utterly horrible headgear...LOL

    I don't know the history of Geronimo, but this film was a great story. It saddens me that our government was that back-stabbing.

    I gotta say, Jason Patric was *so* gorgeous in this film...tanned and tight, with those incredible cheekbones. Mmmm... (Okay, he was even sexier in Your Friends and Neighbors, where he lounged around the men's locker room without a shirt - OMG *drool* - his abs were AMAZING).
