If the Costa Rican president should ever see this movie he would sue the director! False stereotype depiction full of prejudices. Has nothing to do with life in Costa Rica. And the heroic music during murder!!! We are not living in colonial times anymore. It is a cheap mix of fantasy culture from different latin american countries. I lived in Costa Rica many years. I hardly could stand seeing the movie.

Absolutely horrible film! I almost fell asleep. The only good thing about it is Samuel Fröler, but he gets no help from the other actors or from the script. Argh!

Penelope Cruz's first English Speaking film, I believe. Penelope is not great (although beautiful,) but the movie is a must watch! Beautifully shot, and a magnificent story. My fifth viewing, and I never get tired of it!
Samuel Froeler is a consumate performer. I strongly recommend him in any movie. "Good Intentions" for one. John Savage might have aged, but turn an excellent performance as the disillusioned Padre.
In some ways, the protagonist is a prophetic persona, as it forecasts the evils of Agent Orange, earlier than it was used prolifically in Vietnam. It also introduces the world to the very first at rain-forest conservation in South America.
