a nice surprise, 12 February 2004
6/10
Author: joelroussel from Paris

Can't remember where I got this movie from, but it suddenly appeared off my DVD shelf, as it had been there for months and I always skipped over playing it. Anyway, moved by the hand of huge laziness, I decided to give it a chance and feed my tray with what I thought was a slice of pure digitalized bore. The result was a nice surprise. Obviously, it is not the flick of the century, but the plot line is consistent enough to keep you in the whole runtime long. Atmosphere is particularly dense and thrilling (3 phone calls during the viewing didn't manage to kick me off it !), highlighted by a really efficient soundtrack. The cast is just right as it should be, and the breathtaking beauty of Caro (Kristen Wilson) will do anything but spoil it. The machette/drums/ceremonial scheme, usually utterly heavy in this kind of films, is always kept on a due balance, which I reckon must be quite a challenge for the editors. I gave it a 6/10 which means, in my opinion, frames this movie as (at least)

recommendable-worth watching.
