![]() Though the Lost City of Z is not as painfully slow (Notice the tile is half that of the Jesse James movie), the combination of the quiet tone and it's speed was not something I wanted to sit in a movie theater and watch. It reminds me of another project Brad Pitt (who produced the movie) was evolved in, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. While this movie does such a great job making Fawcett's life look fascinating,following him through his time with the army to his time as an explorer, I must admit that the slow burn of the narrative almost put me to sleep. Other people gave great performances, but these are the ones I knew by name, making it a pretty stellar cast for me. ![]() Tom Holland is also in the movie as Fawcett's oldest son who joins him on his last journey to the amazon. In fact the whole cast was impressive with Sienna Miller as Fawcett's wife and Robert Patterson who I totally did not recognize under the bread as Fawcett's most trusted companion on his trips. Hands down, his most grown up acting performance, and really made Fawcett a compelling man to follow. The Lost city of Z is about a British explorer named Percy Fawcett who while on a survey mission in the amazon discovers evidence that the "savages" once had a civilization the might even be older than the one he came from and spends his life trying to find it. I can respect that, but it was a boring movie for that reason. It's one of those labor of loves it seems as the film felt like it was more interested in making an artistic narrative than it was about making money.
