Interesting, but also uninteresting. The key plotlines of <em>'A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia'</em>, an "unofficial sequel" to *that* 1962 movie, are actually fairly intriguing, though it's all kinda presented via quite underwhelming means. My personal interest in events onscreen dipped and piqued fairly often. A trimmed run time would've helped, I'd imagine. On the cast, a debuting Ralph Fiennes makes for a solid Lawrence, though that is not a surprise given he is an excellent actor. Alexander Siddig (aka Siddig El Fadil, also basically debuting) is another noteworthy name, though I feel like he would've made a better Sherif Ali (not that he appears here) rather than Prince Faisal - Siddig is good, all the same.
