An interesting blend of Mosquito Coast, Lord of the Flies, and Rambo. A must-see for every backpacker, as it really captures the essence of the experience. A lot of Richard’s philosophies are spot on.
Leo’s getting better, defining a real persona for himself. His chiseled but youthful appearance and goofy demeanor are a wonderful combination. Nice to see Swinton making the move to mainstream cinema. Sammy Sosa in a supporting role.
