For those who never read the book, this movie is enjoyable and thought-provoking on a human and environmental level. Even though there are "love stories" involved, there is also murder and a leopard hunt. I was very pleased with this version of Luis Supulveda's thoughtful, beautifully written story. Richard Dreyfuss really brought his character's personality to life. The Mayor was just as awful as expected, and enough of the story was brought forward to make it cohesive while maintaining poignancy and point. Thoroughly enjoyable.

The scenes are gritty, beautiful. It has humor in the right places. You may feel horror, sadness, and contentment.

Not going to win any awards but I enjoyed it. The elephants, the pleasant characters, the meaningful undercurrent. A good Sat afternoon movie.

Fast, reactive, and fun. There were alot of innocent people getting killed along the way in car chase scenes--that was a little overboard and wrong and made you question being on the side of this team. But once you got past that, the fun and energy kept you on their side. It was a great diversion movie.
