Filmed in the raw Moroccan desert, whose vistas, sandstorms and eerie skies envelop the tradition-bound Victorian soldiers, the production deserves the label of epic. Flinging itself impertinently against forces of nature and cultures it doesn't understand, the British military behaves both foolishly and bravely. A rousing if retro adventure film about soldiers and honor and brotherly love, "The Four Feathers" should appeal to a large male audience, while females may be drawn by the romantic triangle involving Kate Hudson, who anxiously awaits the return of two men back home.
