Filipe Manuel Neto on Highlander: The Source

1/10 · Oct 26, 2022

This installment in the Highlander story isn’t something I would recommend anyone spend their time on. Following an initial strong film, the series continued with sequels that swung between being awful and merely acceptable, plus a television show (which I haven't bothered to watch, and have no intention of doing so), this is the newest entry, attempting to pick up where the first movie left off. What we’re presented with feels like a made-for-TV movie produced on a shoestring budget, clearly crafted by people accustomed to working in television. I'm struggling to find much to comment on regarding the story itself, but it takes place in a bleak and depressing future where humanity is grim, and the Immortals are searching for the Source of Immortality somewhere in Europe (presumably the origin of their powers and immortality). Like Connor before him, Duncan must endure predictable romantic hardships; however, his girlfriend, with an unbelievable stroke of luck only found in films, happens to be the only person who knows how to reach this source! Beyond a poorly conceived and ridiculous plot, there's also some clumsy dialogue, uninspired and unintelligent villains, and characters that are simply not developed enough. Adrian Paul seems diminished here, appearing to only be able to carry the role of hero based on his youthful looks. Thekla Reuten, cast as Duncan’s girlfriend, doesn’t do much of note either, and the rest of the actors aren't memorable because they mostly just appear, deliver their lines, and then meet their demise when the story demands it. It feels like they recruited students from a drama program to make this film! The visuals are fairly ordinary, leaning more towards television production than cinema, though the computer-generated imagery and special effects are passable. Shot in Eastern Europe, the locations are appropriate and occasionally visually appealing, but there's nothing truly remarkable about them. The soundtrack incorporates songs by Queen, performed by other artists.
