Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I did not know this little programmer, and not the director either. I suppose that's Jack Warner's son. The great Jack Warner. Of course, it's a B picture, set in studio instead of actual locations in south Asia, as it would supposed to be. A not very surprising adventure tale although, but pleasant enough to keep you interested in this story about planters who have to fight against rebels in the jungle. The usual stuff, nothing more. John Ireland made many of those grade B movies, mostly unknown from the audiences. And made by nearly unknown directors. Worth the watching. That's my opinion.
