I used to collect coins and always remember

I used to collect coins and always remember the Sarawak ones with "J. Brooke - Rajah" on them. Well this is a story of that very man. At the height of British colonial expansion, James Brooke (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) arrives in a land terrorised by marauding pirates with Col. Cruikshank (Dominic Monaghan) and his enthusiastic young cousin Charley (Otto Farrant) where they are quickly embroiled in the political and murderous machinations of the manipulative Prince Mahkota (Bront Palarae) and of his more benign cousin Prince Badruddin (Samo Rafael). What now ensues is actually quite a decent jungle adventure that looks at just how this man, steeped in British ambitious and aspirations gradually went native. He wanted to stop the piracy and the atrocities carried out on this remote and superstitious island, but as much for the sake of the local population. Indeed history tells us, and this film illustrates quite well, that he frequently crossed the wishes of the London government and often found himself vulnerable to attack from within and overseas. JRM isn't a good actor, sorry, but here he has a stronger character to represent and he fares OK. The young Rafael also delivers well as the young prince with a much older head on his shoulders, and Hannah New is effective as the rather pompous "Elizabeth" who meets her match in the feisty princess "Fatima" (Atiqah Hasiholan). There's a bit too much dialogue and the acting, by and large, isn't really very good or natural looking, but this is an interesting story that Michael Haussman delivers efficiently rather than spectacularly to the small screen and I found it surprisingly easy to watch.

Interesting blip of colonial history but...

Why do Hollywood-style films always follow the same corrupting boiler-plate model? Here was a chance to really examine an interesting anomaly of British Colonial history in the Far East. Brook's character was certainly more interesting than the portrayal Mr. Meyers summoned with occasional Shakespearean oration. The supporting cast were forced to play along, it seemed, with his inability to convey complexity. The insertion of romantic elements didn't help. It appears we are in an age where having little respect for the value of history as it has been documented is just fine.
