AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 15,980
Rating: 4/4 -- It's a tall tale, a legend, of steadfastness, courage, camaraderie, gallantry and greed, though not necessarily in that order.

Rating: B- -- A decent but hardly great adventure escapist film, that's played for broad comedy. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- It's a mystery why John Hustorn's exciting version of Kipling's classic adventure, terrifically acted by Sean Connery and Michael Caine, was such a commercial flop. Full Review
