I saw bits of the movie and I was intrigued. However I must say I closed my eyes during some parts. Savage,brutal, morbid,sanguinary...were the words that came to my mind during the first part. I was just about to give up on the movie when it started getting really interesting. This is from the point where Jaguar Paw and his people are told they are free to escape. From this point, I became totally engrossed in the movie and found myself rooting for Jaguar Paw. Rudy Youngblood has portrayed the trials and tribulations of Jaguar Paw very effortlessly so that we feel his pain,his fears,his hopes and his strength. It helps that he is Native American. The movie is about the Mayans and the dialogue is Mayan.
Made by Mel Gibson, the movie is gripping. However some of the scenes are a bit graphic and may not suit the faint of heart. But if you can watch until this particular point, it's worth the watch. The movie was shot on location in Mexico, so you get a real feel of the jungle.
