saw this with several people . be recommend . but this movie be really not my thing at all . to really get into a movie like serpent and the rainbow and i think the subject matter just have to be interesting to people to enjoy this and but even then and i think many will have problem because it be simply to hard to follow and many part do not make any sense . the movie both meander along and move very quickly ( if that make sense at all ) and or that be how it seem to me and not a lot be explain along the way . and though i really try to like it and a it have be recommend to me and there be time it just bore me silly . ( many time . ) the movie move way to slow and be quite dull in certain place . half the time one do not know what go on and the other half i just want to leave the theater for yet another trip to the popcorn area . i doubt i would have enjoy this even if it have move faster but at least it may have be involve for a time . i really do not enjoy this at all and would not rate it above a 3 or so . wish i would like it a bit more but unfortunately this be the rare movie that my friend recommend that do absolutely nothing for me .
