Set during the decline of the mighty Mayan civilization, the movie sets main focus on a village/tribe which is annexed by the Mayans to be sacrificed to please the sun god and hence avoid their decline. The protagonist is a young hunter called Jaguar Paw who intends to escape his captors and rescue his wife.
REVIEW
For one thing, anyone can tell this is a typical Mel Gibson movie because
A) The entire movie runs in a weird dead language (in this case it’s Mayan. Passion of the Christ was Armenian). So don’t forget to pop on your reading glasses for the scrawny subtitles. B) The movie theme is against conventions, beliefs and superstitions. Though the overbearing theme is quite unclear, Gibson manages to portray the importance of superstition and misinterpretations that struck fear in the hearts of the Mayans quite clearly. Fantastic visuals and cinematography, especially during the forest chases. Commendable acting by the cast, especially for a bunch of people who had no idea what they were speaking. Though the humour seems unnecessary and odd in some places. All in all, a not-so-bad watch.
