I have to agree that the cinemaphotography was great, and the horse.
The acting was just ok, and the plot not really gripping.  No surprises at
all.  I was beginning to dread the rest of the movie when I heard the opening
score.  A rock-based beat does not fit with the sets or story.  Happily,
during the rest of the movie, the score was much less obtrusive.  Until the
ending credits again.  However, I thought it was an enjoyable movie, not
great though.  Probably less actual violence than BABY, from the sound of it.

ANyway, I have a couple of questions.  

	1)  I'm not one to know names, but was the black captain played by
the same actor as the android in BLADERUNNER?  I think so.

	2) Is the director/producer/cinemaphotographer the same as for KRULL?
(Also a movie with great shots and sets but poor to average acting/plot.)
Were they both shot in the same location (northern Italy?)?  I left the theater
thinking that I had seen the whole movie before, at least as far as the outdoor
shots were concerned.

Wouldn't it be nice to get these people who did the sets and filming together
with someone with a decent script and actors?  Then we'd have a truly 4 star
movie.  As it was, I would still rate LADYHAWKE 3 stars.  No unnecessary
violence in my opinion, as there was in GREYSTOKE.  Some scenes there could
have very nicely been left on the cutting room floor without detracting from
the movie.
