As opposed to Daniel's performance in Swiss Army Man, this spectacular journey, which is based on true events, shows a completely different side of Radcliffe. I feel that after the Harry Potter days, Daniel never really showed what he is capable of. No offense to his skills, they are indeed good, but his true measure can be seen in this film.
Different accent, amazing delivery, perfect looks & makeup, etc. So yes, this is indeed the best performance of Daniel since HF in terms of performance.
The cinematography is epic. The scenes were spectacular & the sites chosen for this journey were exactly what was needed. And all that coupled with the music gives the perfect experience. The blend was amazing!
And as the story is based on real events, I was skeptical as to how good it would turn out as a movie but I must say, every scene was justice to the story. Nothing seems out of the way and seems legit. And apart from Daniel, other actors too are incredible.
So the movie won't let you down & keep you hooked all the way till the end. I gave it an 8 not because I felt incomplete but because it just felt different compared to all the fictional stories I have seen. You won't experience the thrill as in Blood Diamond or Shutter Island but you won't be disappointed either!
