What is most interesting about Farewell to the King is its impulse to tell this story at all. It could so easily have become ridiculous, or merely violent, but Milius keeps edging back toward the philosophy of his hero.

some over-the-top histrionics don't keep it from being worth a look

The "white man as noble savage and isn't it ironic?" material runs out of steam well before the inexhaustible Nick Nolte does.
