People may crack on Dolph but many don't have his education, physical prowess, or his comic timing. Too often action stars are labeled for poor acting skills. This is one of my favorite movies with two great performances. Dolph giving his all and being very believable as a has been athlete who seems to have lost his way. David Soul giving a Bond Villain worthy air to a crazed sociopath. It is a shame that neither get more high profile roles that showcases their excellence. That being said it is totally a movie of its time and does not age too well. Still a 90's classic that does not get mentioned as much as it should! I would recommend this to action, sport, and drama fans.

Highlander: The Source
(2007 TV Movie)
Give it a shot!
17 September 2007
I was apprehensive upon viewing this picture especially after reading all the scathing reviews. Which may be why I enjoyed it so much, In my opinion it captured the feel of the T.V. show & it was well filmed & acted. At one point I even got a little teary eyed. Even though it adds to the Highlander myth it does not disregard what has gone before. Unlike certain sequels. (Highlander 2 The Quickening! I highly recommend this to both fans of the show and casual viewers as it is a self contained story! I hope even though it has been relegated to the Sci-Fi channel that they still do 2 more films as was originally planned! Internationally it should be released theatrically. It deserved more than a cable showing!
