Title: See THE NAKED PREY and KINGS OF THE SUN instead
Product review: APOCALYPTO(2006) Written, Produced and Directed by Mel Gibson. Score byJames Horner.A ho hum film about life in the Mayan empire before Christiancivilzation put an end to barbarism and human sacrifice. Numbinglyviolent and gory with a final half stolen from THE NAKED PREY, thisGibson film is done in by its own blood soaked excess which constantlyremoves and dulls the viewer to what is a nothing special story in anycase. J. Lee Thompson's film KINGS OF THE SUN is a far superior take onthe same material in every way.Hardly a bad film and not more violent from anything from theSAW films to DONNIE BRASCO, anti-Christian bigots set to hate this filmbecause of Gibson being a Catholic take note that you are plunging intoan intellectual cul de sac. This is a modern film in nearly everyrespect---which is to say it is for you.
