Wow was I surprised by this movie I heard so Meany bad things about it, and there was a review for it not long ago in one of the magazines and they called it "really, really retarded". So I watched the trailer after seeing a major positive review from Jesse and I have to say it looked interesting and really good. So an Italian/American made action movie from the director of cannibal holocaust Ruggero Deodato

In Columbia, there's a brutal drug war. When reporter Fran Hudson in Miami receives some information about a drug deal, she wants to make a story about it. When she arrives, she finds only finds a battlefield. But when she sees a photograph of a drug boss together with her boss's son, both believed to be dead, she sniffs a chance for another big story and, together with camera man Mark, heads towards Columbia. But once again Fran comes too late and finds the drug camp devastated by Indios, who killed all the drug dealers. However, there is one survivor, Ana. She tells them she knew Tommy, Fran's boss's son. They soon find out that Col. Horne, the drug boss Fran is after, is in control of an army of Indios with which he wants to bring the whole Columbian drug market under his control.
I have to put this as much better as I thought it was going to be, its very well done in my opinion and it's a major mix of different things or genes. And I believe for its time we were the only country to have this uncut in the 80s until the DVD. This is also the last part in the cannibal trilogy starting with Last Cannibal World and then Cannibal Holocaust and then this.
100% for story: I just think extremely well done and something exciting for a film of its type. You are going to see a load of things that are action, scary, cool just all that. This is what i call an action movie with loads of violence.
90% for acting: The true and only negative part about the film and I see to put Michael Barrymore did a much better job playing his part. And as for the others there still good.
95% for special effects: There still really shocking and extremely good, the only way to like this movie is to see it fully uncut. Your going to see some very gruesome deaths by the assassin or the cannibals.
90% for characters: I think they are all very good but I think we could have known some more about a few but over very good.
100% for everything else: I truly see Ruggeros direction and the way he wanted it to go and as for everything else greatly and amazingly done.
I would say by the end of this take a look it you're an action or horror fan but you don't need to be ether. Great action movie!
Keiko's score 90-100
