"River Queen" with Kiefer Sutherland
Picked up this movie in the video store called "River Queen", about the British Army in New Zealand in 1860 and the efforts of the Maori Tribesmen to drive them out. Interesting movie in that some of the natives saw alliance with the outsiders as the future, while others wanted them out.
Kiefer Sutherland plays Private Doyle, an Irishman fighting for the British who befriends the movie's female lead. He is kilted throughout the movie in a Black Watch kilt & other uniform and field gear accoutrements. There are some great battle scenes, and everyone is covered with mud and blood. No dainty formal wear here.
For the military history buffs, I saw that his jacket had buttons with "18" on them. The uniform jacket was blue, and he wore a blue beret with dicing on it. There was quite a bit of variety in the uniforms, and only a small portion of the troops were kilted.
Kiefer looked as if he had worn a kilt his whole life, very comfortable and non-chalant. The movie was well done, good story, lots of action, yet not your run of the mill military flicks due to the setting. Worth renting.
