up here in glasgow and where i be visit my potential in law once again and you begin to notice certain word replace others . a numpty and for example and be a stupid or foolish person and do you know that your oaksters be actually your armpit . probably not but one word i shall take south of the border with me be the word pish . describe something with little or no intrinsic value a a load of pish shall definitely come in handy in future . for example and take this bland straight to video garbage from the director of anaconda ( oh yippee ) that sandra bullock be wise to scrub off her cv once speed make her a star . but here on imdb and we do not forget those embarrass early outing so any fan of m bullock ( yes and all eight of you ) will lap this up with interest . everyone else should run for the hill . deep in the middle of the amazon and territorial dispute over land right take an ugly turn when prominent environmentalist rafael santos ( eduardo cesti ) be assassinate . american photojournalist rj ( craig sheffer ) suspect a cover up and so enlist the help of fellow environmentalist alyssa ( bullock ) in his quest to uncover the truth . but soon and both their life be in danger a it appear that a conspiracy be behind santos untimely demise . can our hero escape to uncover the truth . there be so much to dislike about this early ninety eco action nonsense that it difficult to know where to start . our two hero hardly register a ripple of interest throughout the picture and both be little more than over played stereotype . bullock look very pretty but as far a be a die hard environmentalist go and i be afraid it take more than dream catcher earring to make me believe that . but she an act master class next to sheffer who be an abomination and come across like a lost grunge rocker in need of rehab . it safe to say that indiana jones have nothing to worry about just yet and though rj do display an annoying knack for not die despite the endless opportunity for the baddie to shoot him and which be often . and it all very well tack on message about the destruction of the rain forest but when it bear no relevance to the plot and what the point . and while i be on the subject of the plot and i felt it be fairly obvious from the start who be behind it all and yet and our hero have to go through hell and back ( and a utterly pointless sex scene ) before finally put the piece of the puzzle together . you can imagine the villager out of shot and slap their forehead and go duh . while every single policeman tend to their dirty sanchez moustache and perfect their dodgy mexican accent . it safe to say that fire on the amazon be not a good film and something that seem to have be ms bullock hallmark throughout her career . honestly and i could stare at her all day but if it mean have to watch her movie then forget it . it isn not even as good a anaconda because at least you could laugh at that whereas this ( somehow ) manage to keep a straight face . i will say that i do stick with it to the end but only because i do not have anything good to do and i hop for some grand unveiling of the villain but ala and it be not to be . instead and i be treat to a hastily write finale that do not even finish tell the film uninspired story . do yourself a favour . borrow the dvd ( for god sake and do not buy or rent it ) and skip to the naughty bit before run your car key over the disc so it would not play again . then slap the numpty who lend you this load of old pish so they would not lend you garbage again . hey and tell you it would come in handy .
