An interesting and unusual odyssey film., 20 February 2001
6/10
Author: George Parker from Orange County, CA USA

"Men With Guns" follows an aging physician as he goes in search of doctors whom he has trained, as his legacy to humanity, to serve the Indians living in the remote jungles of a fictitious region somewhere in southern Mexico or Central America. An odyssey film, "MWG" is a chronicle of the doctor's wandering and happenstance encounters with native Indians, government soldiers, guerrillas, sundry civilians, and even an American archeologist. The film features indigenous actors, lush jungle traveloguesque scenery, a variety of unusual situations, some reflections on human nature, and a smattering of philosophizing. Not the usual cinematic fare, this film will have narrow appeal and will be appreciated for its exotic milieu as well as its story, drama, and intrigue.
