It's like two different movies, and not in the interesting Kubrick way. it starts out as intelligent and devastating, ends up so predictable and hack I can't understand the 10s and the critical raves. Acting is good, story is not so good, film making becomes Rambo and takes you out of the powerful ideas behind the movie. Turns into a typical "everyone wants the treasure" movie and that's not what I was expecting to see when I started watching. And it wasn't a happy surprise. Others may love the action, but it becomes stupid as more and more Africans fall as fodder but somehow Leo continues to duck bullets and bombs. Whatever...
