Best movie of this year hands down!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

John McTiernan directed this romantic adventure that stars Sean Connery as Dr. Robert Campbell, a brilliant but eccentric and reclusive scientist working in the Amazon rain forest trying to find a cure for cancer, but finding himself in need of an assistant, so requests one from his employer, but is disappointed to find that it is a woman Dr.(played by Lorraine Bracco) Despite his skepticism, she proves quite resilient, and eventually gains his respect, and even his love? Meanwhile, they must fight the bulldozers for redevelopment of the area, which threaten to destroy the source of the cure. Well-intentioned but utterly predictable film still has Connery's star power going for it, and nice scenery, but little else.

Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco are field scientists trying to figure out what the hell ingredient it was that Sean 'lost' in the formula he discovered which cures cancer.When they're not bickering about meals, baths, and inebriation, one can enjoy the appeal of the two leads as they strive to solve their mystery under a time constraint. There is also pretty scenery of rain forest, atmospheric music, supporting performances by the aboriginals, and fine direction by John McTiernan, though problems in the editing department mar the film's continuity. Sean and Lorraine look great.

John McTiernan and Sean Connery ("Red October") join forces once again to bring us the tail of a British researcher who believes he has found the cure to 'the disease of the 20th century' in the remote South American jungle. He is soon joined by a research assistant (Lorainne Bracco), and together they begin to search for the 'misplaced' antidote.The concept is quite good, however the film is poorly scripted and lacks both continuity and any real inspiration. Although Tom Schulman's script leaves them with little to work with, both Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco have been much better, as has ace director McTiernan. An adventure comedy that never quite works.Saturday, December 19, 1992 - Video

This movie is definitely on my list of the top ten - all time! I obviously enjoyed it enough to comment, 15 years later. I looked it up just out of curiosity because it is one of my favorites. I can't believe that it didn't get better ratings or awards. Lorraine Bracco and Sean Connery both did a phenomenal job and no matter how many times I watch this movie, I find it to be extremely touching and entertaining. I cannot believe Bracco was nominated by RAZZIE for the worst actress. Who are these people? Anyway, BRAVO Bracco & Connery! The world needs more movies such as these, instead of the blood and gore, violence etc. we see each day now!
