after the excellent excalibur this be a big step down for director boorman . this could have be an intelligent and moving film about a man who find his miss son after 10 year adopt by a native tribe in the amazon . but the stuff about the tribe be mystical and in touch with nature be lay on a little too thick . this noble savage cliche just substitute one stereotype for another . and the climactic scene in the brothel be ill concieved and not to mention the silly deus ex machina end involve the dam and make the rain end in dune seem plausible by comparison . it seem tack on and lessen the ecological message boorman be drive home .
