The film [is] an unbalanced mix of narrative clichés and simplistic action-adventure dramatics that proves absolutely enervating.

Nevertheless, it is beautifully shot in authentic locations, and Meyers's Apocalypse Now-like narration illuminates Brooke's struggle to balance the staggering beauty and the bloody savagery of his private kingdom.

Rating: C+ --
Less nuanced and complex than Brooke's Wikipedia entry.

Rating: 3/5 --
The protagonist here is a mindful one that contrarily presents respectful intentions, and that's rare across the usually negative gamut of colonization stories.

While it might not knock it out of the park, "Edge of the World" is still a very solid watch if a little slow-going and might also just inspire you to revisit some of the classics its indebted to which is its own small triumph.

Edge of the World might work as an ode to bygone swashbuckling classics, but Brooke deserves a much more nuanced biopic.

Epic in every way. Too bad it doesn't quite work.

Product Description:
This adventure drama based on real-life 19th-century explorer Sir James Brooke (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) sees Brooke travel to oppressive and primal Borneo with the Royal Geographical Society; far away from the gifted life he led and failed in Great Britain. Despite all the odds, Brooke finds himself rajah of the jungle colony Sarawak, overtaking previous leaders: princes Mahkota (Bront Palarae) and Badruddin (Samo Rafael). Falling deep into his new role, Brooke must find a way to balance his own morals with that of this new land. Directed by Michael Haussman. Written by Rob Allyn.
