Review of Mohawk

Mohawk (2017)
8/10
Good historical film with accurate 1812 depictions...

I liked this film as I do with many other Native films. This one's depictions of how the War of 1812 looked was satisfactory. Of course, Native characters are always the good guys fighting against oppression and in this particular film, Mohawks fought hard against oppression that came in the form of American soldiers. However, what I did find a bit off: a Mohawk woman having 2 lovers: one a fellow Mohawk and the other a young white British man. In real life, I don't think that kind of thing went on. Again, I wasn't around in those days so I don't know for sure. I liked the end fight between the American senior officer and the Mohawk woman. She got to come back to life to end up getting her revenge in the end. Although I like that skull mask she wore during the fight, I don't think they were ever worn in real life in hand to hand combat. Anyways, this film deserves an 8 out of 10.
