i guess everyone have to start somewhere . this 1993 and direct to video film harkens back to the beginning of sandra bullock film career when she be probably thrill to get a b movie script . actually and to call this a b movie would be the kind of prevarication . it be nowhere near that good . a mediocre plot be mar by dreadful directing and wretched cinematography and awful acting . the film start out like a recruiting film for the protest arm of the sierra club and with people lock in human chain to keep logger from cut down the rainforest . the leader be assassinate and then our heroine ( sandra bullock ) and team up with a whack out photo journalist ( craig sheffer ) to find the killer and expose corruption . at this point it try to convert to an action adventure thriller in the jungle of the amazon . it fail . there be so many thing to criticize in this film and i hardly know where to begin . let try cinematography . the color quality be awful and scene be constantly out of focus and the lighting be poor . we have overexposure and and underexposure with no regard to effect . how about audio . the sound be muddy and the music be poor . and act . the acting be amateurish and bumbling and shrill . direct . luis llosa must have be on a tight budget . it seem like he do the whole film in one take . actor be flub line all over the place and but the camera keep roll . okay and but what about sandra . she be a raw talent at this point ( in more way than one ) . this film provide u with her one and only nude scene and which may be it only claim to fame . but do not rush to the movie store to rent it because of this . though it be clear she be fully unclad and you really see nothing and which be probably a blessing . i love sandra bullock and but let face it and she have a body only popeye could love and and add nothing to a film by appear in the buff . actually and her acting here show promise and especially in one scene where she be try to revive a child just rescue from a fire . but there be a clear difference in her skill and confidence compare with present day . this film be a must not see for anyone and especially sandra bullock fan . why mar your good opinion of her . i rat this film a negative . it be an appalling waste of time . why they revive it and i can only wonder .
