‘The Promised Land’ Review: Mads Mikkelsen Grows Potatoes & Feelings Against All Odds in Handsome Danish Historical Drama

Mads Mikkelsen has proved time and again a master at playing quiet, rational, and seemingly harmless men who, when pushed, swiftly reveal themselves also to be skilled executioners; their pent-up rage does not bubble up so much as shoot out of them in sudden bursts of ultraviolence. Mikkelsen proves it once more in “The Promised Land,” the new period drama that reunites him with his “A Royal Affair” Danish director Nikolaj Arcel, and premieres in competition at the 80th Venice Film Festival this week.

‘The Promised Land’ Review: Mads Mikkelsen At His Staunch, Heroic Best In Nikolaj Arcel’s Classic Drama About Human Frailty – Venice Film Festival

They don’t make them like this any more, except when they do. Bastarden (disappointingly renamed The Promised Land in English) is a historical epic out of Denmark that has all the virtues of a midday movie remembered from childhood, the kind of thing you watched when your mother kept you home with a bad cold: a setting sometime in the olden days, a lawless frontier, sword fights and a gaggle of delectably evil baddies. Those seamy aristocrats and their henchmen, given to torturing, murdering and raping their oppressed tenants, are just lining up to have the tables turned, giving them a rich dose of their own torturing, murdering medicine. Hooray!

off-its-rocker “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, which had Indy survive a nuclear explosion by hiding inside a refrigerator — and ended with a Spielbergian alien encounter.Running time: 154 minutes. Rated PG-13 (sequences of violence and action, language and smoking.) In theaters June 30.Of course, we always feel happy seeing Harrison Ford — the greatest American action star ever — back in the iconic fedora, even at 80 years old.And Phoebe Waller-Bridge of “Fleabag” adds a welcome dose of spit and vinegar as Helena Shaw, Jones’ goddaughter and latest co-adventurer. But I still left asking “Why?” Everybody knows the Indy series should’ve called it quits with 1989’s “The Last Crusade,” after Indiana Jones and his dad, Dr.

Does ‘Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny’ have a post-credits scene?

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has arrived in cinemas – but should you remain seated for the credits?The latest offering marks the fifth and final instalment of the franchise, and sees acting legend Harrison Ford reprise his role as the daring adventurer.With the first part of the movie being set in 1944, Dial Of Destiny kicks off with the whip-cracking archaeologist looking to retrieve one half of the Antikythera – an ancient dial built by Archimedes – from a Nazi scientist (played by Mads Mikkelsen).The remainder of the film ventures forward to 1969, where Jones partners up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) to locate and retrieve the other half, and potentially alter the course of history.The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, but fans will still be curious to know if a post-credits scene teases future possibilities for the franchise.Unlike other Disney titles, this Indy offering doesn’t feature a post-credits or mid-credits scene. So once the film ends, you’re safe to leave.The lack of any teasers perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Ford himself has made it clear on numerous occasions that this is his final outing as Indiana Jones.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.
