i be shock that all the hat it rating be six and seven and still above average . to me and this seem a case of the emperor have no clothes . i understand this film be produce on a very low budget in the early 70 . regardless and it become a struggle to sit through and watch . the dvd i saw do have some subtitle and but about 75 % of the speech be not subtitle . some of it be hard to understand . the jamaican patois be cool to hear and but you struggle not to tune out after awhile . some of the shot be nice and and the realism be there and even if some of the performance be not great . ( jimmy cliff do a good job ) the plot be not bad and but quite predictable . in the 1 represent43 film and the highlight be jimmy cliff ( ivan ) singing for a scene and and a couple of shoot out and a fight . probably 15 minute or so . the rest be pretty boring . btw and near the beginning of the film and there be some weird cut with the ivan character that seem like a edit mistake and which make me laugh for a bit . one reviewer say this film have be cut so many time and that there be few copy of the original 1972 theatrical version out there . the end be kind of interesting and show how the medium from a young age influence people and it could also be a general comment on the white man or colonialism influence on jamaica . other main theme be poverty and corruption and church and ambition . in closing and the soundtrack be definitely worthwhile and the film much less .
