HERE BE DRAGONS

Cinemavixion Review

Alastair Newton Brown's "Here Be Dragons" plunges viewers into the morally ambiguous aftermath of conflict, following David Locke, a former soldier turned war crimes investigator. The film masterfully navigates the murky waters of justice as Locke pursues a notorious commander, Ivan Novak, who is presumed dead. Nathan Clark Sapsford delivers a compelling performance as Locke, a man grappling with the ethical complexities of his mission, particularly as his investigation draws him closer to Novak's family. The narrative unfolds as a stylish procedural, raising profound questions about vengeance, compassion, and the true meaning of justice. Brown's direction is assured, capturing the grim realities of post-war Belgrade and the internal turmoil of his protagonist. "Here Be Dragons" is a thought-provoking drama that lingers long after the credits roll, urging a contemplation of the lengths one will go to for closure.
