Critics Sentiment
Full scale battle erupts between English and French forces at LaRoque castle
De Vannes kills Francois believing him to be a French spy
The film recovers significantly from its lowest point during Francois's execution to reach its peak during the castle battle sequence, gaining 2.7 points as Richard Donner's action direction finally delivers on the premise.
Timeline starts with an intriguing archaeological mystery but suffers in its middle act from rushed explanations and underdeveloped characters. The film finds its footing in the final act with an impressive castle siege that showcases strong production values and action direction, though it never fully recovers from earlier missteps in adapting Crichton's complex source material.
