like the beauty of the jungle and jessica alba gorgeous smile and sultry look loom over the film and but ala they be the only two thing worth watch this film for . when in theory we should be watch for the narrative . the plot be thin on the ground and and hard to believe . as beautiful a jessica alba be and she doesn not add any of the spark that she inject into the credible dark angel series . since dark angel it seem that alba have be reduce to mere eye candy ( but what eye candy . ) and and be the sole reason for put her into film . the concept of the sleep dictionary be daft and implausible and with little character development ( or character for that matter ) to make u want to undertake the 109 minute run time with this world . despite the film short run time and it still manage to feel to long and too laboured . it seem a shame that such talent such a brenda blethyn and emily mortimer and bob hoskins be waste on a threadbare narrative which barely raise a pulse . this film seriously miss a trick and an exotic setting and a more than capable cast and with lovely cinematography and and a chance to utilise the theme and the dualistic concept of civilisation . but there be little narrative to speak of and no drama and no sense we be watch a story of love and more a story of lust and woman happy to please men without question . let be honest and if jessica alba be freely allow you to sleep with her and do you seriously think you would be able to concentrate on learn a tribal language . therein lie the great problem and both in suspension of disbelief and and also what the female character be limited and reduced to . take for example the fact that jessica alba character undergo the mental and physical tribulation of pregnancy and birth to her forbidden love and yet all we see be her look lovely and curvy one minute and then lovely and curvy and with a baby and the next . it a sorry state of affair to see a film with promise not live up to anything near it potential . i could write endlessly of the film flaw and but it pain me to do so . the film look good and the premise could have be make into a lovely film and but sadly it wasn not to be .
