Description

Denmark, 1755. Captain Ludvig Kahlen sets out to conquer a Danish heath reputed to be uncultivable, with an impossible goal: to establish a colony in the name of the king, in exchange for a royal title. A single-minded ambition that the ruthless lord of the region will relentlessly seek to put down. Kahlen's fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life...?

    "Promised Land" is based upon a true story, but it just isn't a particularly interesting enough one. It is truly nothing more than a sober and uninspiring recounting of the facts and at least the film makers have produced a serious minded dramatisation of some real events without succumbing to the temptation of somehow making it into a popcorn movie and insulting everyone involved in the incident being depicted. It is also hampered by the fact the running time is principally preoccupied with Danny and Beverly's 400 mile drive back to Danny's hometown of Ashville and you are certainly made to suffer through every single uneventful mile of this belaboured and particularly tedious journey which has been beautifully and lovingly filmed, although much like the rest of it you frequently find your patience being tested to the absolute breaking point.
