Twenty short years ago, audiences were treated to Brian Helgeland’s vastly underrated medieval sports drama, A Knight’s Tale.
Well, to all those hedge-born cretins who dismissed Helgeland’s perfectly entertaining film, I spit on your soul! A Knight’s Tale deserves mention alongside the best summer movies of the early naughties.
So, on this day of our Lord, May 11, 2021, let us give thanks to A Knight’s Tale and respect the would-be blockbuster that should have made Heath Ledger a superstar.
Plus, more than anything, it’s got one helluva Heath Ledger performance.
