Shekhar Kapur was onto something when he opted to remake this period chestnut -- about fraidycat British soldier Harry Feversham (Ledger), who goes undercover in Sudan -- as a critique of colonialism. Unfortunately, it's a trick the director can't quite pull off: As Feversham loses himself, the movie loses its coherence; by the time we're back in Old Blighty, the message is so muddled it's hard to care about colonialism, conquest, or the tepid love story anchored by a badly miscast Hudson.
