“u0026quot;Lord Jimu0026quot; is a film that offers viewers satisfaction on many levels. Although it is set in an exotic locale and has a considerable amount of action, the real story of this movie is its exploration of the human condition.

I havenu0026#39;t read the book so I canu0026#39;t speak to the movieu0026#39;s faithfulness to the original text, but it does stand on its own legs as a thoroughly entertaining film.
