Well, to be fair, for me to be satisfied, this film would only have to tell me just what in the world a Mohican is, because I was thinking that it was some kind of Native American, until they dropped the name Daniel Day-Lewis, who is about as white as it gets.
Michael Mann couldn't make a movie about a guy uncovering the secrets of a cigarette company on "60 Minutes" without it coming three minutes shy of tacking on a 1 in front of that 60 in the 60 minutes, but hey, this film still stands as pretty enjoyable. But when the daughters (Madeleine Stowe, Jodhi May) of a British colonel are kidnapped by a traitorous scout, Hawkeye and Uncas must rescue them in the crossfire of a gruesome military conflict of which they wanted no part: the French and Indian War. The last members of a dying Native American tribe, the Mohicans - Uncas (Eric Schweig), his father Chingachgook (Russell Means), and his adopted half-white brother Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) - live in peace alongside British colonists.
