If this is the kind of work, that drunk Aussie is going to be producing then all power to him. Mel seems to have very good directional skills with the landscape, movement of camera and tenseness of the scene. The film takes you in to the characters from the start and keeps you till the end. You even have a fondness for the leader of the opposing tribe. The Aztecs were known for their brutal rituals of sacrifice in Gods name but not as much for their tranquil living. If you are looking for a very good film with good scripts and don't mind the subs. Do not pass and go, collect. Lets wait in anticipation for MR Gibsons next instalment.
