A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia
Amazingly enough, this made for television movie is a boatload better than most of the crap hitting the big screen these days. As the title states, this deals with the events after T.E. Lawrence left the middle east. Perhaps it could only be done as a television production because of the politics involved....this is in no way shape or form an action film, it is dialgue driven all of the way. When that dialogue is being delivered by the great Ralph Fiennes you just know you are in for something special. While historically acurate A DANGEROUS MAN will not to the taste of all, it is slow in pace and very cerebral in presentation. A young Alexander Siddig is trult amazing as Feisal and Nicholas Jone`s portrayal of Lord Dyson is absolutely bone chilling. Hard to track down but for fans of historical dramas well worth the effort.
