Countryman

That's about it...run of the mill plot, with some mystic nonsense thrown in to make it Rasta-friendly. Countryman is a better actor than Keller or his wife, but that's not saying much.

A plane crashes in the wilds of Jamaica and the crew of two are rescued by 'Countryman'. If we all had this guys attitude to life, the world would be a much nicer place. The bad guys are bad, and the good guys are good. Great reggae music and some wonderful views of the island. Lots of locals involved in the film, and I can see why subtitles were added to the DVD version. The local patois can be difficult to understand. If you like reggae music please try to see this movie. Low budget, average plot but if you're in the right mood, it rides like a Harley on an empty road at midnight. My thanks to all involved, it's one of the few films that I can watch over and over again.

COUNTRYMAN has unusually good action, adventure, and Jamaican magic that sets itself aside our standard American form of entertainment. Originality is the key point of this flick. The reggae soundtrack that includes Bob Marley & The Wailers is well done for a rarity. The bad thing wrong with the movie is the speech. While a few may understand the dialogue that is spoken, many will have a rough time following along. Still, this is an overlooked cult classic that should get another chance at a video release.

A classic Jamaican film. Contains one of the best Reggae soundtracks ever. Artists like Bob Marley support the soul of the film.

Viewed at the 2008 Jamaican Film Festival in Kingston it was received with a standing ovation. Seeing it now revealed fresh insights. It played like a new film. A little put off by unfortunate post production dubbing from Jamacian patois in the print viewed. Story is driven by sheer energy. The actor, Countryman, is the real deal and he holds magical interest when on screen. We understand that a sequel is in the works. This film is a must see for lovers of Jamaica and it's music. Hat's off to its creator, Dickie Jobson.

A plane crashes deep in the heart of a Caribbean island. A local fisherman, Countryman, rescues the man and woman, but soon finds they are being hunted by the army. This film could have been the template for the second half of Crocodile Dundee 2 - a journey through a wild land, a hero who respects the land and its mystical aspects, and villains who come a cropper in their disrespect for nature. The film has a certain charm, walking a fine line between the innocence of the hero, and the worldly events that impinge on his way of life. The soundtrack is amazing, some early versions of classic Bob Marley (Small Axe) and Toots & the Maytals (Bam Bam) - and many other great reggae tunes.

Overall, an enjoyable, eco-friendly film with killer music.
