	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A movie with a keen sense of natural spectacle (...) [Day-Lewis's] fierce and graceful body language speaks much louder than words"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Painstakingly, breathtakingly re-created by director Michael Mann, this landscape makes room for heroes with principles greater than the circumference of their biceps."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Mann's film is quite an improvement on Cooper's all but unreadable book, and a worthy successor to the Randolph Scott version (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"It is pure escapism, traditional heroics writ huge. Yet it is also realistic, each and every inch imbued with authenticity and conviction (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The action is richly detailed and thrillingly staged (...) Still, the scalpings and eviscerations can’t hide the film’s dramatic hollowness."	NEU
United Kingdom	Marc Lee Telegraph	"It's not just the action sequences that impress. Mann takes time to explore emotional landscapes, too"	POS
United States	Lisa Nesselson Variety	"[It] benefits from rich source material and good performances (...) Pic blends pure adventure with a compelling central romance"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Gripping to its clifftop showdown."	POS
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"'Mohicans' is one of [Mann's] lushest films; it juxtaposes beautiful green scenery with the ferocious immediacy of several battle scene"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"[It] comes at you like a tomahawk. Hard, fast and brutal (...) However, its impact comes at the expense of some of the gentler virtues, qualities that even top-drawer barn-burners really shouldn’t ignore."	NEU
United Kingdom	Alan Jones Radio Times	"This exciting mix of high adventure, romance and history lesson is wonderfully presented in a colossal, glossy package (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Mann, at his best, is a master of violence and lyrical anxiety. There’s a fight on the edge of a cliff that attains a spooky, almost hallucinatory quality — it’s the most ecstatic piece of action moviemaking I’ve seen in years"	POS
United States	Andre Dellamorte Collider	"A gorgeous film with a great leading performance by Daniel Day Lewis"	POS
