Met all of my criteria for a good thriller..., 31 October 2009
8/10
Author: Mitzi Fenno from United States

They are a) I don't hit my mental fast forward even once, or start thinking about something else b) I don't see the twist coming (RARE) and c) I have to look away at least 3 times and/or hide my face because I can't take the suspense. This one had me riveted to the end. The VERY end. A theatrical masterpiece, no. A good thriller? Yes. Drags a bit in the beginning but that is just the setting up of the plot. I was hesitant to watch this because hasn't the "hunted in the jungle" theme been done to death? And, I am picky. If I don't like it in 10 minutes forget it. But good story with solid acting. The juxtaposition of the different relationships in the movie, and the addition of the movie camera, also poses the question of what a "real" romantic relationship is. I don't know if anyone else caught that (and that is not a spoiler - just an observation). Good entertaining flick!
